ORION(constellation)?
The information you are looking for relates to planets. Orion is a constellation, so none of these points you've listed is relevant.





You can find a lot on Orion by going to this Wikipedia article.

Reply:-composition of atmosphere and planet mass


-presense of moons and/or rings


-vital statistics such as length of year and day, axial tilt and size


-when it was discoverd-


-visitation by spacecraft from earth





It has none of these things...it's a constellation, not a planet and it's approximately 1,500 light years away.

Reply:Download "Google Earth" to your PC, click on one of the buttons at the top to view "Sky", type in the word "Orion" in the box at the left hand side, and press Return. From there you can zoom in on the individual stars, Betelgeuse, Belatrix, Rigel, Saiph, Alnitak, Alnilam, Mintaka, etc., or even the Crab Nebula. The constellation (group of stars, "stella") just defines a particular area of sky as viewed from Earth, so even it something a lot closer moves in front of it, it is said to be in the constellation of Orion.

This is great freeware that you can use to get information about nearly everything in the sky.





But first I think you need to learn the difference between a planet and a constellation. -
Reply:Those questions refer to a planet. Orion is a constellation, a group of stars that form a unique shape in the sky.
