Fork of Solar System
✓ Published0🌍 Public
This animated visualization presents the solar system with planets scaled by relative size, while orbital distances are not to scale. Each celestial body appears as a colored circle, with a label beneath it, revealing its name. The animation sequentially grows the Sun and planets into view. The code uses D3’s `select` and `transition` APIs for rendering and animation, with data sourced from Wikipedia’s list of gravitationally rounded objects. The view is built using SVG circles and text elements, styled over a black background.
AI-generated descriptionA visualization of the solar system. Relative sizes to scale, distances not to scale.
Data from Wikipedia: List of gravitationally rounded objects of the Solar System.
Challenge
- Option A: Use this template to visualize the relative size of various numbers.
- Option B: Add SVG Gradients to make the planets look more planet-like
