Excuse the additions that I made to your table. I was a planetary geologist for 14 years
and during that time I wrote ~100 papers (and part of a textbook) about the planets. Even
though I have not done that work for 20 years, I still have reflexes that make me
use km for planet or moon diameter, and usually AU - but sometimes km - for orbit radius. I
extended your table to the other planets for completness. I omitted Pluto because the latest
research suggests that Pluto is an asteroid rather than a planet. I used the latest
values for mean radius and diameter. I replaced "million miles" by "*10**6 mi" to conform
with scientific style.
