Detailed Description

Solar body. A "data container" delegate used to hold information about a Solar System body. This is a collection of orbital parameters and some additional facts (mass, radius) that is useful for scaling and configuring the solar system.

This object acts as the keeper of the "real data" and it's values are used when the "Restore Defaults" is triggered in the SolarSystem inspector or the scale is changed.

Typically only referenced in SolarSystem and filled in from one of the creation classes: PlanetData, AsteroidData or CometData.
