'''Halley's Comet''', also referred to as 1P/Halley, is a short period comet appearing in the skies every 72 to 80 years, last seen in 1986 and the next will be in 2061. Named after [[w:Edmond Halley|Edmond Halley]] who was the first to recognize it as a recurring comet although it has been seen since ancient times.

== Halley in Orbiter ==
+
|-
−
Halley was introduced to [[Orbiter]] as an add-on in 2004. Since Orbiter was not designed to show a comet's tails, the add-on depicts it as a rugby ball shaped body much like an asteroid.
+
|width="30%"|Average temperature||align="right" width="30%"|288 K
−
Halley orbits the [[Sun]] in a very elliptical orbit, moving retrograde to the Sun, unlike the planets which move prograde, or counter-clockwise looking from the north of the [[Solar System]]. [[periapsis|Periapsis]] takes Halley to between the orbits of [[Mercury]] and [[Venus]], and at [[apoapsis]] it is beyond that of [[Neptune]].
 
−
 
 
−
Note that when landed on Halley near the apoapsis, Halley provides only about 1% of the total gravity, the other 99% by the Sun, but, near apoapsis, Halley provides 98% of the gravity, the Sun, only about 2%. It may be difficult to stay landed near Halley's periapsis. The sphere of influence near apoapsis is about 37 km from the center, and near periapsis, the SOI is right about the surface.
 
−
 
 
−
It can be difficult to visit Halley as when it is near apoapsis, Halley is traveling at about 900 m/s, but it's 35 AU from the Sun. Near Periapsis, it's about 0.5 AU from the Sun, but it's traveling almost 55000 m/s.
 
−
 
 
−
It should also be noted that when landing on Halley that the visual surfaces are well below the hard radius (5500 meters), which is not visible, so instrument landing with HUD in surface is recommended.

'''Earth''' is the third planet from the [[Sun]] and is the only body known to harbor life. Earth is one of the four 'rocky' planets the other three being [[Mercury]], [[Venus]], and [[Mars]]. The only natural satellite orbiting Earth is the [[Moon]].

The Earth is close to an oblate spheroid, but, in Orbiter it's modeled as a sphere.

==Earth in Orbiter==
 +
The Earth is one of the original twelve bodies modeled in Orbiter beginning with Orbiter 2001. In 2001, the orbital characteristics were defined in the Earth.cfg file, but all versions after that, the orbit was defined in the Vsop87.dll file in the Modules folder. Physical, Rotation and precession, Atmospheric, Cloud, Visualisation parameters are defined in the Earth.cfg file.

Orbiter 2001 included only three surface bases, but Orbiter 2002 expanded the list to 35.
