[huxulm] Solar System
✓ Published0🌍 Public
This animated visualization displays the planets of the solar system as colored circles, with relative sizes to scale but distances compressed to fit a single row. Each celestial body appears sequentially with a two-second transition, while its name label fades in beneath it. Built with D3.js, the code uses `selectAll`, `join`, and chained `transition` calls with `easeLinear` to animate circle radii and positions. Data on each object’s radius and distance comes from Wikipedia’s list of gravitationally rounded solar system objects, with Pluto included as a smaller distant body.

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
