Solar System Simulator

Go backwards or forwards in time to see the position of the planets.

Accurately see where the planets are right now. Speed up the solar system simulator to see where the planets will be in the future, or go back to see how the planets were aligned on specific dates, like your birthday. Everything from the formation of our solar system to it's demise is included in this handy simulator.

Cycle through the planets to get their current year and see the solar system from a different point of view.

Four different modes allow you to view the solar system with the sun at the center (heliocentric), in monochrome, to-scale, or the earth at the center (geocentric).

Toggle solar system simulator planetary orbits on or off in any mode to see planet orbit paths in relation to each other.
