====== Terrestrial Planets ======

[ [[wp>Planet|Wikipedia on Planets]] ]

Terrestrial planets are planets made of rocky materials. During [[system creation]] planets use up (:rock-mass). 

There are three types of Terrestrial Planets: [[Small Planet|Small Planets]], [[Medium Planet|Medium Planets]] and [[Large Planet|Large Planets]]. Additionally, [[Asteroid Belt|Asteroid Belts]] are treated as planets, though they have various limitations. 

Planets (and Asteroid Belts) use one orbit (either (:cold-orbit), (:goldilocks-orbit) or (:hot-orbit)) each, with the exception of the Large Planet which uses two of the same type. 

The cost, zones and lunar orbits of each planet type are listed below:

* A Large Planet takes up two orbits both of which must be of the same temperature.

===== Double Planets =====

A [[Small planet]] with a [[large moon]] is automatically considered a double planet. Additionally, a [[small planet]] with a [[medium moon]] or a [[medium planet]] with a [[large moon]] may be classified as a double planet at the choice of the player. This has no effect on the game.
