A mostly accurate representation of our Solar System, according to data found on Wikipedia. Controls: - Space bar: Toggle the The following are accurate: - Distances between the Sun and the planets are to scale (1 AU = 100 pixels) - The mass of the Sun and planets, in kilograms - The orbital speeds of planets, in meters per second - The relative size of the planets (Mars is 0.53 Earths) What is not so accurate: - The sizes of objects relative to distances between them. If the size of objects was to scale, all planets would be invisible, and the Sun would be just under a pixel wide. - The size of planets relative to the Sun. The Sun is much smaller than it actually is.
