I think mercury is the planet closest to a prefect circular orbit.

no, murcury's orbit is so elipitcall, it has a double sun rise: the sun comes up a little, comes back down then rises again. probably because it goes so fast.
I'd say venus has the least elptical orbit

horus:  you freeze the cups of water and put them in a larger container.  Then you have put them together without losing track of which is which :P

pluto has the worst orbit

the angle of the orbits
Earth is the zero point because we needed a place to start from.

mercury   7 degrees
Venus      3.4 degrees
Earth       0 gegrees
Mars        1.9 degrees
Jupiter     1.3 degrees
Saturn     2.5 degrees
Uranus    0.8 degrees
Neptune  1.8 degrees
Pluto       17.2 degrees
The tenth object which i cant remember the name of is even more extreme

Comets can become asteroids but there very very small.  I dare say smaller then moons out there.

comets

Encke revolves around the sun ever 3.3  year and is always view able by telescope.  First seen in 1984

Tempel2 revolves 5.3 years.  Seen in 1983

Holmes revovles 7.1 years.  Seen in 1986

Faye revolves 7.4 years.  Seen in 1984

Halley 75-76 years.  seen in 1986 wint show again till 2061.

theres a lot of free orbit editors out there. google for em and download one and test making orbits. see how long they remain stable. most people dont know that any orbit can decay and throw the object into space. we lose something like 12 feet of our moon every year.

I think that, when the moon is lost, it will either fly into mars, or into the sun, lol

or the moon will become a 3rd or 4th planet  or get stuck in the orbit that earth has.  Just like Jupiter has a set of asteroids behind and infront of it that follow the orbital path of Jupiter.

the sun wont go nova at all. our sun is too small to go nova again. it will become a brown dwarf.

if we could safely freeze ppl and launched a colony ship now, we could prolly get to nearby galaxy in 10 billion years.

Why go to another galaxy when ours is bound to have some thing lol.  Just seems pointless to waste the effort on going to another galaxy.

A brown drawf i dont know if there very hot at all but they do have some kind of light to them.  so aleast some people could live on mercury or venus because its going to be Hot for a very long time because of its clouds.

the solar system would still be habitable but wouldnt be as friendly. keep in mind, the sun wouldnt simply shrink down to a brown dwarf. it would still go thru growing pains, expanding to the orbit of earth and casting off material until eventually consigning itself to a cold, silent death. mercury, venus and prolly earth would be obliterated. mars might cook or it might be warm and friendly(er). i think jovian moons would be the best shot in this case, only after the expansion the solar system would be cold and dark.

since i cannot seem to pull off a complete download of the op2 movies, i see some screenshots looking across the new terra surface that show an object in the sky. it looks bigger than a moon and looks like it might be a gas giant maybe? i cannot tell.

so im asking those who can view the cutscenes, if theres anything to suggest what kinds of planets/moons might be in the system?
