Fly in your ship around the solar system with this realistic solar system model, where the distances between planets and the sizes of each planet and moon are all to scale! Here you can attempt to understand the unfathomable emptiness of space! === Controls === W or Up Arrow to use engine Left and Right Arrows or mouse to turn Space while going forward to use Warp Drive P while going forward to use Hyperdrive K to instantly come to a stop M to instantly change Y coordinate to 0 (aligning with solar system disk) === Statistics === Distance from the Sun is measured in AU (1 AU is the distance between Earth and the Sun) Distance from the nearest object is measured in kilometers or gigameters (1 Gm = 1 billion meters) Speed is measured as a percentage of the speed of light Simulation speed 1 is real time, changing it to a different number speeds it up by that amount === All celestial objects as of 10/9/26 === - Sol (the Sun) - Mercury - Venus - Earth and Luna (the Moon) - Mars, Phobos, and Deimos - Jupiter (with rings), Ganymede, Callisto, Io, and Europa - Saturn (with rings), Titan, Rhea, Iapetus, Dione, Tethys, Enceladus, Mimas, and Hyperion - Uranus (with rings), Titania, Oberon, Umbriel, Ariel, and Miranda - Neptune (with rings) and Triton - Pluto and Charon - Proxima Centauri
Thanks to Griffpatch for the original project and the whole physics system! I recommend giving a listen to "The Planets" by Gustav Holst while playing Note: All asteroids, including the ones in the rings of outer planets, are not to scale. They have been made significantly larger so as to be visible.
