This simulator shows how a satellite in a Dyson Swarm orbits the Sun. Astronomical Unit (AU) is the distance from the surface of Earth to the surface of the Sun. The bar at the top says the AU, and the time passing, on Earth (1 AU) compared to the satellite (0.2 AU). Click the Green Flag to start the project. If you want to speed up the project, you can turn on Turbo Mode (shift+green flag) to speed up the simulation to see the orbital-plane tilt in fast-motion. 0.2 AU is the average AU for a Dyson Swarm, a hypothetical swarm of satellites that orbit the Sun and collect the energy radiated from the Sun's surface. The satellites then blast the energy through a laser to a huge satellite that orbits the Earth, and then that huge satellite blasts the energy through another laser to an energy farm on Earth where it's converted into electricity. —The AU of the planets: · Mercury = 0.4 · Venus = 0.7 · Earth = 1 · Mars = 1.5 · Jupiter = 5.2 · Saturn = 9.5 · Uranus = 19.2 · Neptune = 30 · Pluto (dwarf planet) = 39.5 —The Earth-Years of the planets: · Mercury = 4.15 · Venus = 1.62 · Earth = 1 · Mars = 0.53 · Jupiter = 0.084 · Saturn = 0.033 · Uranus = 0.011 · Neptune = 0.006 · Pluto (dwarf planet) = 0.004 —The days (rotations, not orbits) on the planets: · Mercury = 58.7 Earth-Days · Venus = 243 Earth-Days · Earth = 1 Day · Mars = 1.026 Earth-Days · Jupiter = 9.84 Earth-Hours · Saturn = 10.2 Earth-Hours · Uranus = 17.9 Earth-Hours · Neptune = 19.1 Earth-Hours · Pluto (dwarf planet) = 6.39 Earth-Days —A day on the Sun's surface: · Equator = 24 to 25 Earth-Days · North & South Hemispheres = 26 to 28 Earth-Days · North & South Poles = 31+ Earth-Days _________________________________________ (If you've read down this far, congratulations)
