Planetary Apprentice

Planetary Apprentice software was designed to be a reference tool that displays several properties for a selected planet. There are 18 properties divided into four categories - orbital, physical, axial, and atmospheric. The Apprentice shows all 18 properties for your seleceted planet in one scrollable window.

Here are some key features of "Planetary Apprentice":

￭ One-click unit conversion: Clicking a property given in metric units will automatically open the Apprentice's conversion tool, enter the value clicked, and convert it to an american unit. ￭ Comparative chart: All nine planets with their respective properties are shown side by side in one chart. Handy for comparing differences and similarities between two or more planets. ￭ Customizable Interface: The colors and fonts used by the Apprentice can be customized by you. ￭ Image Gallery: A collection of several planetary images from NASA and the NSSDC.

Requirements:

￭ Web browser required for viewing the Image Gallery and the help file. ￭ Note: Planetary Apprentice will adjust itself to different screen resolutions, but the recommended resolution is 800x600 or greater. Also, the Apprentice looks best with a color setting of at least 16-bit high color.
