... a small solar system body [can be defined] as a natural body that orbits the Sun, [it] is not a planet, [it] is not a satellite, [it] is too massive to be a meteoroid and [it] is not a dwarf planet. 5, record 1, English, - small%20solar%20system%20body

There are many small celestial bodies in the solar system, of which asteroids and comets are the main components. Small celestial bodies preserve historical relics of the evolution of the solar system. Small celestial bodies in a wide variety contain rich mineral resources such as rare metals and water. Organic matter existing on the surface of small celestial bodies can affect the origin of life on Earth through the collision between the small celestial body and the Earth. 6, record 1, English, - small%20solar%20system%20body

En 2006, l'Union astronomique internationale(UAI) a défini les petits corps du système solaire comme étant tous les objets orbitant autour du Soleil qui ne sont ni une planète, ni une planète naine, ni un satellite. Les petits corps sont donc définis par opposition aux autres objets du système solaire. En pratique, les petits corps du système solaire sont les objets orbitant autour du Soleil mais n’ ayant pas une masse suffisante pour avoir une forme presque sphérique et qui n’ ont pas fait place nette dans leur voisinage. 3, record 1, French, - petit%20corps%20du%20Syst%C3%A8me%20solaire

Un planeta enano es un cuerpo celeste que: (a) está en órbita alrededor del Sol, (b) tiene la masa suficiente como para que su autogravedad contrarreste las fuerzas de cuerpo rígido, de modo que su forma sea aquella correspondiente a la de equilibrio hidrostático (cuasi esférica), (c) no limpió la vecindad de su órbita, y (d) no es un satélite. Cualquier otro objeto, exceptuando los satélites, que no sea un planeta o un planeta enano será clasificado como un cuerpo pequeño del Sistema Solar. Entre ellos encontramos fundamentalmente a los asteroides, la mayoría de los objetos transneptunianos y los cometas. 1, record 1, Spanish, - cuerpo%20peque%C3%B1o%20del%20Sistema%20Solar

If the weight is increased, the rate of precession is increased. If the weight is decreased, the rate of the precession is decreased and the ellipse will broaden. The period of oscillation for undamped gyro is 113 minutes, and as the spin axis seek the meridian some means is required to suppress this oscillation so that it will come to rest in north direction. 3, record 3, English, - rate%20of%20precession

A further use of gyroscopes is found in their employment as stabilizers, as on aircraft and ships, to keep inertial guidance systems steady despite the sometimes violent motions of the vehicles. In such cases the gyroscope is made very large and given a large amount of angular momentum. The rate of precession will then be very small, since the precession is inversely proportional to the angular momentum; this small rate of precession means that the system resists angular displacements. 4, record 3, English, - rate%20of%20precession
