This 2D visual model illustrates the scale of the sun and planets in our solar system, and their current distance from each other.
About this project. This is an interactive model of the solar system that is quite, but not entirely, realistic. The vast distances and differences in space and time that are present in the real solar system can make observation boring or intimidating.
Explore the wonders of our solar system in this Unity-based simulation that adheres to real scaling and dimensions. Witness the beauty of each celestial body with interactive exploration and orbit trendlines.
29 paź 2024 · To make a solar system model, start by finding a large cardboard box and painting it black to represent space. Next, gather 5 polystyrene balls in various sizes to represent gas giants like the sun, Jupiter, and Neptune.
In this project, you will create your own scale model of the solar system by learning how to calculate scale distances, the relative sizes of planets, or both. Then, use beads and string, sidewalk chalk, or your own creative choice of materials to build a model you can explore – or maybe even wear!
Simplified 2D Solar System simulation (planets and main asteroid belt) built with JS ES6 native tools. There are no dependencies to install. To start the solar system simulation just open SolarSystem.html in Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome.
Make your own solar system by dragging bodies and the V symbol (V for velocity) or by typing into the initial settings table in the upper-left corner of the simulation. Distances, masses, and times are in arbitrary units.
