General info on our solor system

[MillerGenuine]

I am looking for general information on our solar system for an assignment. I am looking for information such as mass, radius, position (with respect to the sun), etc. of each planet in our solar system. Anyone know where i can find this information on the web?

Ouch. I wonder how much that anachronistic domain name cost!

If you go to the site, on the title bar, they have "crossed out the 9" and "scrawled in an 8".

Oh, I checked it out. It's a slick little site. But... the domain... that costs money. And now it's obsolete (maybe not the site... just the domain).

There's 5 according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwarf_planet" that are acknowledged by the IAU, however there are estimates that at least another 40 known objects suit the description of a dwarf planet, and that there could be as many as 200 still left in the Kuiper belt and 2000 beyond it.
