Solar System Physics Simulator
The physics of orbital patterns is a fascinating observation. You can put your understanding into practice. Or if you’re knew to this topic then let’s have some PhUn!
Topics
- Gravitational Force
- Astronomy
- Orbits
Learning Goals
- Predict how the position, mass, velocity, and distance between planetary bodies affect their motion and orbits.
- Illustrate how the gravitational force controls the motions of the planets
- Explore the different motions that a group of planetary bodies can have.
- Describe the behavior of the planet’s velocity in different moments of its orbit.
