Solar System Data

arevdata includes a curated static Solar System dataset for the eight planets and a set of major moons.

It is designed for apps, educational tools, quizzes, and interfaces that need typed facts without pulling from a remote science API.

Import

import {
  planets,
  moons,
  getPlanetByName,
  getPlanetByOrder,
  getPlanetsByType,
  getMoonByName,
  getMoonsByPlanet,
} from "/data";

import type {
  Planet,
  PlanetType,
  Moon,
} from "/data";

Included datasets

planets

The eight major planets with:

  • Physical data like radius, diameter, mass, gravity, and escape velocity
  • Temperature summaries
  • Atmospheric composition
  • High-level bulk composition
  • Orbital data such as mean distance from the Sun, perihelion, aphelion, and orbital period

moons

A curated list of major natural satellites with:

  • Parent planet relationship
  • Size, mass, gravity, and temperature data
  • Atmospheric traces where relevant
  • Bulk composition
  • Orbital period, distance from the parent planet, and tidal-locking metadata

Examples

Look up a planet

const earth = getPlanetByName("Earth");

earth?.type; // "terrestrial"
earth?.temperature.averageC; // 15
earth?.orbit.meanDistanceFromSunKm; // 149598023

Get planets by category

const rockyPlanets = getPlanetsByType("terrestrial");
// Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars

Get moons for a planet

const jupiterMoons = getMoonsByPlanet("jupiter");
// Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto

Good use cases

  • Space-themed educational interfaces
  • Planet comparison tables
  • Quiz games about moons, planets, or atmosphere types
  • Static reference cards for science dashboards
