Before making modifications to this template, please discuss the proposed changes on the WikiProject Astronomical objects talk page. Thank you.

This user page employs intricate features of template syntax.

You are encouraged to familiarise yourself with its setup and parser functions before editing the template. If your edit causes unexpected problems, please undo it quickly, as this template may appear on a large number of pages.
You can conduct experiments, and should test all major changes, in either , the general template sandbox, or your user space before changing anything here.

This template is part of a group of templates that are used to display information about a specific extrasolar planet. The {{Planetbox begin}} is always the first in the list, while {{Planetbox end}} is always the last in the list. This particular template can be used as follows:

{{Planetbox orbit
| separation_mas = <!--observed separation, in milliarcseconds (mas)-->
| separation = <!--observed separation, in astronomical units (AU)-->
| position_angle = <!--position angle, in degrees-->
| separation_epoch = <!--Time separation and position angle observed -->
| semimajor = <!--semimajor axis, in astronomical units (AU)-->
| semimajor_gigameter = <!--semimajor axis, in gigameters (Gm) (optional)-->
| semimajor_no_units = <!--semimajor axis (no units provided by template)-->
| periastron = <!--periastron in astronomical units (AU)-->
| periastron_gigameter = <!--periastron in gigameters (Gm) (optional)-->
| apastron = <!--apastron in astronomical units (AU)-->
| apastron_gigameter = <!--apastron in gigameters (Gm) (optional)-->
| eccentricity = <!--orbital eccentricity-->
| period = <!--orbital period in days (optional, can use period_year instead)-->
| period_year = <!--orbital period in years (optional, can use period instead)-->
| speed = <!--orbital speed in kilometers per second (km/s)-->
| inclination = <!--orbital inclination, in degrees-->
| arg_peri = <!--argument of periastron, in degrees-->
| t_peri = <!--time of periastron (Julian date, JD; can use t_peri_no_jd instead)-->
| t_peri_no_jd = <!--time of periastron (no calendar specified; can use t_peri instead)-->
| t_transit = <!--time of transit (Julian date, JD; can use t_transit_no_jd instead))-->
| t_transit_no_jd = <!--time of transit (no calendar specified; can use t_transit instead)-->
| t_approach = <!--time of closest approach (Julian date, JD)-->
| semi-amp = <!--velocity semi-amplitude (m/s)-->
}}

The following templates are used together and are usually placed in the order listed below. {{Planetboxes}}
