Fork of Solar System
✓ Published0🌍 Public
This animation displays the planets of the solar system in a horizontal line, with relative sizes to scale but distances not to scale. Each planet grows into view sequentially with a label, using D3 transitions. The code applies radial SVG gradients to several planets, such as Jupiter and Neptune, to give them a more dimensional appearance. The starfield background is randomly generated. Data on planet sizes and distances comes from Wikipedia’s list of gravitationally rounded objects.
AI-generated descriptionA visualization of the solar system. Relative sizes to scale, distances not to scale.

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
