Mean densityFor other meanings of density, see density (disambiguation Density (symbol: rho Greek: rho) is a measure of mass per unit of volume. The higher an object's density, the higher its mass per volume. The average density of an object equals its total mass div 1.3 g/cm3
Surface gravityThis article covers the physics of gravitation. See also gravity (disambiguation). Gravitation is the tendency of masses to move toward each other. The first mathematical formulation of the theory of gravitation was made by Sir Isaac Newton and proved ast 0.014 m/s2In physics, acceleration (symbol: a is defined as the rate of change (or time derivative) of velocity. It is thus a vector quantity with dimension length/ time˛. In SI units, this is metre/second˛. To accelerate an object is to change its velocity over a
Rotation period ?
Axial tiltAxial tilt is an astronomical term regarding the inclination angle of a planet's rotation axis in relation to its orbital plane. It is also called obliquity . A planet whose rotation axis were perpendicular to the orbital plane would have an axial tilt of
AlbedoNote: This article discusses the physical or planetological property of albedo. For other usage, see Albedo (disambiguation). The albedo is a measure of reflectivity of a surface or body. It is the ratio of electromagnetic radiation reflected to the amoun 0.07
Surface temp.Temperature is the physical property of a system which underlies the common notions of "hot" and "cold"; the material with the higher temperature is said to be hotter. General description The formal properties of temperature are studied in thermodynamics.

KThe kelvin (symbol: K is the SI unit of temperature, and is one of the seven SI base units. It is defined by two facts: zero kelvin is absolute zero (when molecular motion stops), and one kelvin is the fraction 1/273. 16 of the thermodynamic temperature o K K

Belinda is a moon of Uranus. It is named after the heroine of Alexander Pope's The Rape of the Lock. Other than its size and orbit, virtually nothing is known about it.

There is also a paronymous asteroid, 654 Zelinda .
