Comparing The Kerbin System to real planetary systems

[aceassasin]

After some researching i think i have found a close real match to the kerbin mun and minmus system =P

it is the Dwarf Planet beyond the orbit of neptune called Haumea with a mean radius of about 718 km

its mun equivelent is the moon Hi\'iaka with a mean radius of 170 km

The equivelent of minimus is the moon Namaka with a mean radius of about 85km

Only issue is that for Haumea the 'Mun' is further out then 'Minmus'. Still is is pretty much dead on for dimensions.

Depends on its mass. Enough heavy metals in the core and mantle, then it is possible. Bear in mind that would be much more than what is contained within Earth, and would potentially provide for a higher gravity at the surface. That would give a reason why kerbins are so short.

Either that, or not enough vitamins.
