2 years ago "Near-Earth object" (existing UAT concept) has alternate label "Near-Earth asteroid" and I'm inclined to leave this as is.
"Zodiacal dust" (existing UAT concept) has alternate label "Zodiacal light," should this be changed? "Zodiacal dust" is a parent concept of "Zodiacal dust bands."
Inferior & Superior planets refers to their location relative to the Earth and Sun (Inferior are Mercury and Venus, while the rest (Mars and beyond) are Superior).
Proposed new concepts and hierarchy locations Asteroids > Near-Earth asteroids Atmospheric effects > Seasons Comet tails > Dust tail Comet tails > Ion tail Earth atmosphere > Earth's seasons Earth atmosphere > Greenhouse effect Greenhouse effect > Greenhouse gases Lunar mineralogy > Lunar regolith Lunar theory > Lunation Main belt asteroids > Ceres Main belt asteroids > Pallas Near-Earth asteroids > Amor group Night sky brightness > Light pollution Planetary magnetospheres > Magnetic poles Planetary magnetospheres > Magnetic storm Planetary science > Albedo Seasons > Seasonal phenomena Solar system planets > Inferior planets Solar system planets > Superior planets Zodiacal dust bands > Zodiacal light
