⚙ Under the hood
This simulation allows users to explore the complex dynamics governing planetary motion, focusing on gravitational forces and orbital mechanics. By manipulating parameters like distance and mass, you can observe how these factors influence an object's orbital period and trajectory. Distance now affects a star's apparent size and brightness via inverse-square dimming, instead of only feeding a light-years readout.
