How do I scale planets?


Recommended Posts

It says it all in the title, how do you scale the planets to be really 1/10th real scale, and yet have the correct gravities?

Same with stars.

 

And while we're at it, how do you set up a moon orbiting two planets?

Yeah, I guessed that, wasn't very sure though.

Crap, so they can't orbit both in a wide orbit,  or can't orbit in a figure 8 fashion or something like that?

Nope ksp only allows for keplerian orbits. That means your options are circles, ovals, parabolas, or hyperbolas.

:'(

Well, I can meet in the middle, have a large Rocky moon orbit a giant, with the moon orbiting between them (I'm a slightly elliptical orbit) and just carry on with the rest of my idea.
