## Notes

1. ↑ Though astronomers generally accept Orcus as a dwarf planet, some doubt remains
2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 A major moon is a moon that is hydrostatically round.
3. ↑ Mass calculated using Vanth's estimated mass
4. ↑ As the transition from atmosphere to other is unclear for the giant planets, they are not included in this
