This SVG file contains embedded text that can be translated into your language, using any capable SVG editor, text editor or the SVG Translate tool. For more information see: About translating SVG files.

This file is translated using SVG <switch> elements. All translations are stored in the same file! Learn more. For most Wikipedia projects, you can embed the file normally (without a lang parameter). The Wikipedia will use its language if the SVG file supports that language. For example, the German Wikipedia will use German if the SVG file has German. To embed this file in a particular language use the lang parameter with the appropriate language code, e.g. [[File:TheKuiperBelt Projections 55AU Classical Plutinos.svg|lang=en]] for the English version. Do not specify a lang parameter if it is not needed. The parameter may prevent the use of a subsequent translation. To translate the text into your language, you can use the SVG Translate tool. Alternatively, you can download the file to your computer, add your translations using whatever software you're familiar with, and re-upload it with the same name. You will find help in Graphics Lab if you're not sure how to do this.

• The nodes of the orbits are brought to 270°; and the perihelia to 0° to simplify the comparison of the perihelia and aphelia
• Objects plotted: classical in blue, plutions in red.¹

The aligned orbits are further reclined onto the ecliptic (i.e. rotated around the line of nodes by an angle opposite to the inclination) to allow for easy comparison of perihelia and aphelia.

• Polar coordinates
  • Distance from the Sun (the small gold disk) in AU.
  • Argument not drawn
• Yellow circle: 30AU (~Neptune’s orbit)

Projection of the aligned orbits on the plane x,z ((looking at the ecliptic from the edge); the point of view is the ascending node.

• Polar coordinates.
  • Axis: distance form the Sun; perihelia on the left, aphelia on the right.
  • Angle: orbit inclination [°]
• Yellow arc: 30AU (Neptune’s orbit) perihelion

¹For roughly a half of known TNO the orbits are not yet known with the precision sufficient for the classification (a particularly delicate task for resonant objects).

Minor Planet Center Orbit database as of Feb 14th, 2006 except for resonant orbits' classification. Minor Planet Circular 2005-X77 was used instead.
