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 - thick gaseous envelope with possible rocky core deep within
Hydrogen and helium dominated with trace methane and ammonia

Inside the synchronous orbit: it spiraled inward and was torn apart at the Roche limit (Phobos's fate).
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.
Cold enough for nitrogen and methane to lie as frost on the surface (Triton-like).
Small and distant: a quiet, stable companion.
Outside the synchronous orbit: slowly receding, like Luna (~cm per year).
Cold enough for nitrogen and methane to lie as frost on the surface (Triton-like).
Small and distant: a quiet, stable companion.
