Description: Graphs of escape velocity against surface temperature of some Solar System objects showing which gases are retained. The objects are drawn to scale, and their data points are at the black dots in the middle. Data is based on http://abyss.uoregon.edu/~js/ast121/lectures/lec14.html and http://pwg.gsfc.nasa.gov/stargaze/StarFAQ12.htm#q200 .
