Body Object Properties

The properties of scripting objects that correspond with celestial bodies are used to determine the positions and speeds of planets, apogees, and nodes. You can access a specific property by adding the property name after the object name, separated by a full stop (period). For example, if you want the longitude of Venus, you would enter Venus.Longitude.

Here's a list of the available properties:

  • Longitude: The angular degrees of longitude.
  • Latitude: The angular degrees of latitude.
  • Distance: The distance in astronomical units (AU).
  • LongitudeSpeed: The speed of change in longitude (degrees per day).
  • LatitudeSpeed: The speed of change in latitude (degrees per day).
  • DistanceSpeed: The speed of change in distance (AU per day).
