In the game Kerbal Space Program, the Kerbol System consists of six planets and a star, Kerbol, which is the equivalent of the Sun in our own solar system. The six planets are Moho, Eve, Kerbin, Duna, Dres, and Jool. Each of these planets has its own unique characteristics and challenges for players to explore and overcome. Additionally, some of the planets have moons that can also be explored.

In the science mode of the game Kerbal Space Program, players can conduct scientific experiments on the planets and moons of the Kerbol System to earn science points. These experiments can range from simple observations of a planet’s surface or atmosphere to more complex activities, such as deploying sensors or drilling into the surface to collect samples. The planets and moons in the Kerbol System each have their own unique characteristics that can make them suitable for different types of experiments.
Moho is a small, rocky planet with a surface marked by craters and mountains. It has no moons, so it is not a good target for experiments that require the presence of a moon. However, its surface features and composition make it a good candidate for geological and geochemical experiments.
Eve is a massive, terrestrial planet with a thick atmosphere and a harsh surface marked by mountains, valleys, and lakes of liquid methane. It has two moons, Gilly and Eeloo, which can be studied for their geological and geophysical characteristics. Eve’s atmosphere and methane lakes also make it a good candidate for atmospheric and chemical experiments.
Kerbin is a terrestrial planet similar to Earth, with oceans, continents, and an atmosphere. It is the home planet of the game’s protagonists, the Kerbals. Kerbin has two moons, Mun and Minmus, which can be studied for their geological and geophysical characteristics. Kerbin’s atmosphere and biomes also make it a good candidate for atmospheric, biological, and ecological experiments.
Duna is a rocky, Mars-like planet with a thin atmosphere and a surface marked by craters and mountains. It has two moons, Ike and Laythe, which can be studied for their geological and geophysical characteristics. Duna’s atmosphere and surface features make it a good candidate for atmospheric, geological, and geophysical experiments.
Dres is a small, rocky planet with a heavily cratered surface. It has no moons, so it is not a good target for experiments that require the presence of a moon. However, its surface features and composition make it a good candidate for geological and geochemical experiments.
Jool is a gas giant planet with a thick atmosphere and swirling storm clouds. It has six moons: Tylo, Vall, Laythe, Bop, Pol, and Eeloo, which can be studied for their geological and geophysical characteristics. Jool’s atmosphere and storm systems also make it a good candidate for atmospheric and meteorological experiments.
