Star and planets drawn to scale (a typical star of its class), with only the star's edge in view. Orbits spaced as in the star system view.
Planet, moons and orbits drawn to one scale; the smallest moons are enlarged so they can be seen.
Surface. No surface: a deuterium-burning sphere the size of Jupiter and dozens of times its mass, glowing dull red from its own heat
Hydrogen and helium with iron and silicate cloud decks - hot enough to rain molten metal

Small and distant: a quiet, stable companion.
Tidal braking locked the planet to its moon: one face forever moonward.
Tidal flexing melts its interior: an actively volcanic surface (Io-like).
Small and distant: a quiet, stable companion.
Outside the synchronous orbit: slowly receding, like Luna (~cm per year).
Tidal heat sustains a subsurface ocean over a rock seafloor: a strong candidate for life (Europa-like, 83/100).
Small and distant: a quiet, stable companion.
Cold enough for nitrogen and methane to lie as frost on the surface (Triton-like).
