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 solid surface - a thick gas envelope wrapped around a small deep core (a mini-Neptune)
Deep hydrogen-helium envelope with photochemical haze

Small and distant: a quiet, stable companion.
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).
Cold and massive enough to hold its nitrogen and methane as a thick haze (Titan-like).
