But if you want to create classes of celestial bodies, it might be a possibility to classify all planets from -say- 5000 to 10000 km radius into one class (called: 'Earth-sized' - for example). This 'Earth-sized' is in fact not true for many members of such a category. But this is not a requirement for grouping things into classes. I would also suggest, not to use such 'imperial units' anymore (in connection with physics), since they fell out of fashion in almost any country on this planet. TH
