Forked from Solar System

This animation visualizes the solar system with planet sizes drawn to scale, while orbital distances are compressed for visibility. Each planet appears sequentially as a colored circle with a white label, positioned along a horizontal line against a starry background. The visualization uses D3.js with `transition` and `easeLinear` to animate the circles’ radii and opacity, binding data through `selectAll` and `join`. Data on planet radii and distances comes from Wikipedia’s list of gravitationally rounded objects, with the Sun and planets rendered as simple SVG circles.

AI-generated description

A 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
