| − | [[Kerbol]] (även känd som '''Kerbin Prime''', '''Solen''', och '''Stjärnan''') är stjärnan i centrum av '''[[Kerbol System]]et'''. Det är fem planeter som är i omloppsbana: '''[[Moho/sv|Moho]]''', '''[[Eve/sv|Eve]]''', '''[[Kerbin/sv|Kerbin]]''', '''[[Duna/sv|Duna]]''' och '''[[Jool/sv|Jool]]''' och de två dvärgplaneterna '''[[Eeloo/sv|Eeloo]]''' samt '''[[Dres/sv|Dres]]'''.

| − | I jämförelse med vår egen [[w:sv:Solen|sol]] så är Kerbol 113 gånger mindre och den har en omkrets som är 3 gånger mindre. Kerbol är troligtvis en [[w:K-type main-sequence star|K Class main sequence star]] baserat på dess temperatur, men den skulle också kunna vara en [[w:Red dwarf|M klass stjärna]] baserat på dess omkrets, eller en [[w:G-type main-sequence star|G klass]] baserat på dess ljusstyrka. Den skulle också kunna vara en [[w:sv:Vit dvärg|Vit dvärg]].

| − | == Trivia ==
| |
| − | * Between versions 0.7 and 0.10.1, Kerbol was a mere point of light in the skybox.
| |
| − | * Kerbol gained gravity in 0.12.
| |
| − | * It is still safe to drop below the 'surface' in 0.13.3, but a ship can break up from the extreme gravity gradients and/or shot outwards at large fractions of c.
| |
| − | * Since 0.14, close encounters will result in a collision that destroys the ship and kills all crew members.
| |
| − | * The current “surface” of Kerbol is an invisible, and likely, featureless plateau approximately 4500–4700 km above the nominal radius. There is no known way to land on it, as the [[Kraken]] makes all maneuvering difficult, and the gravity reduces the TWR of all engines below 1. One can attempt to place edited parts on the surface, but they bounce erratically at a few hundred to a few thousand m/s if they do not explode.
| |
| − | * While Kerbol can be reached from [[Kerbin|Kerbin's]] orbit by using a [[Mun Landing#Step 2 - To The Mun|Hohmann transfer orbit]], a spacecraft doing so will require a ΔV of about 8 km/s to do so. The most efficient way to reach Kerbol from [[Kerbin|Kerbin's]] orbit is to use a [[Tutorial: Advanced Orbiting#Bi-Elliptical Transfer|bi-elliptic transfer]]. With a sufficiently-distant apoapsis, the required ΔV to sundive can be reduced to under 4 km/s, at the expense of drastically-increased flight time.
| |
| − | * The name “Kerbol” was created by forum members and never appears in the game. Officially, the star is simply referred to as “the Sun”, though the lead developer did mention that the name could change once the need to differentiate it from other stars arises.
