HP Prime Basic Planetary Data
The program PLANETS and PLANETDATA retrieve data about our solar system planets, including our dwarf planet, Pluto.
PLANETS presents you with a choose menu which will present a screen of all the data for a planet.
PLANETDATA allows you to retrieve a specific item for a planet. PLANETDATA has two arguments: n for the planet, k for the data point. This is useful if you want to pull out a specific data point for calculations.
Table for PLANETDATA(n, k):
Example:
The gravity on Mars. PLANETDATA(4,4) returns 3.71 m/s^2.
The diameter of Saturn. PLANETDAT(6,2) returns 58,232 km.
