A stylized, not-to-scale model of the solar system displays the sun and nine planets, including Pluto, on dark background with faint orbital rings. Planet sizes and orbital radii are fixed, but their revolution speeds vary by distance from the sun, with the closest planets moving fastest. The visualization is rendered as an SVG using React and D3 v6, where each planet is a circle with an SVG `<animateMotion>` element that follows a precomputed circular path. A static background image sourced from Khan Academy is included for context, while all orbital motion is driven purely through SVG animation rather than D3's simulation APIs.
