MyWiki:WikiProject Solar System/Importance ratings

All pages belonging to the Solar System should be rated according to their importance. There four levels Top, High, Mid and Low.

The importance is not static. It evolves as new facts come to light, new events happen and new discoveries are made. The public perception of particular topics also changes with time.
