Abstract
There are four systems of a massive central body with a regularily structured satellite system in the Solar system: the planetary system and the satellite systems of Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus. Comparable structures in these four systems can be understood as indications for comparable processes of origin and formation. It is the aim of this paper to describe comparable properties, and to discuss possible physical processes in pre-satellite disks which can be the cause for this comparability.
