1 AU = 93 million miles, the radius of the Earth’s orbit. Mass: the Sun is 1.3 million times the volume but only 330,000 times the mass of the Earth because its density is so low. "Orbital inclination" is the tilt of a planet’s orbit to the ecliptic. "Orbital eccentricity" (or orbital ellipticity) is how elliptical a planet’s orbit is (0 = circular, 1= a straight line). Mercury and Pluto, the inner and outermost planets, have the most inclined and most elliptical orbits. "Obliquity" is the tilt of a planet’s axis to its orbital plane. A spinning body’s spin axis never changes the direction it points in space as it orbits its parent body (explained on page 42 in You and the Universe), the principle by which gyroscopes (a spinning body) direct and stabilize vehicles in flight.
