	I'll correct my edit comment. I read "radius", not "diameter" for some reason. It's a lot smaller than [[wp:Pluto\|Pluto]] and [[wp:Eris (dwarf planet)\|Eris]], is probably more comparable in size to [[wp:Charon (moon)\|Charon]] or [[wp:50000 Quaoar\|Quaoar]] which are both Dwarf Planet candidates. The former is currently considered Pluto's largest moon. - [[User:Salak\|<font color="maroon">Lt.

Cart'hen II's a lot smaller than [[wp:Pluto\|Pluto]] and [[wp:Eris (dwarf planet)\|Eris]], is probably more comparable in size to [[wp:Charon (moon)\|Charon]] or [[wp:50000 Quaoar\|Quaoar]] which are both Dwarf Planet candidates. The former is currently considered Pluto's largest moon.

			The rereading also brings Cart'hen III into doubt. A diameter of 4378km puts that planet in the same ball park as [[wp:Callisto (moon)\|Callisto]] (Jupiters' second largest moon) and [[wp:Mercury (planet)\|Mercury]], both have diameters in the 4800-4900km range. Density lacks a unit of measurement, but assuming it is g/cm³, that makes it more dense than any of the terrestial planets in our solar system (all under 5.6). Surface gravity can be calculated using other stats using a formula found at [[wp:List of Solar System objects by surface gravity\|List of Solar System objects by surface gravity]]. I've not tried checking that one myself. - [[User:Salak\|<font color="maroon">Lt. Salak</font>]]<sup><i>[[User talk:Salak\|Talk]]</i></sup> 04:21, 4 March 2008 (CST)
