Solar System 1
Solar system model using WebGL and Three.js.
Orbital elements are epoch J2000.0,
so errors increase with time difference to 2000-01-01.
Planet orbits are green.
Minor body orbits are red.
Tails after bodies in orbit are brighter color.
Ascended orbit planes are semitransparent white.
Decended orbit planes are semitransparent black.
"Floor" grid squares (blue) are 1 m.
Sun scale is 1 m : 2x10^9 m.
Click timer to see and change other scales.
Click timer to hide or highlight orbits.
