3D Solar System SimulatorImmersive Learning Simulation Software. Students are able to explore our solar system in real-time 3D. Examining the sun, planets, asteroids, Kuiper belt, and Oort cloud.
Real-Time 3D Simulation Software
The sun is at the center of the solar system. Nine known planets (some say eight, excluding Pluto), their moons, and countless asteroids, meteoroids, and comets are held in their orbits around the sun by its powerful gravitational force. Click and drag on the solar system to view it from different angles. Click on the magnifying glass to zoom in and out. Click on the buttons under the solar system to learn more about a planet or object in our solar system.
Sun's Diameter: 1,400,000 km
Our solar system is nearly five billion years old. It is made up of eight planets, nine if you count Pluto that has recently been grouped with the other so-called dwarf planets, and more than 170 moons. In addition there are thousands of asteroids and comets, all orbiting around the central sun.
Earth's Diameter: 12,576 km
Earth is the third planet from the sun. Earth is unique in our solar system because it is the only planet with liquid water on its surface.
Jupiter's Diameter: 143,000 km
Jupiter is the fifth planet from the sun. It is the largest and most massive planet. Galileo discovered four of Jupiter's moons: Io, Callisto, Ganymede, and Europa. Jupiter has a thick atmosphere mainly made up of hydrogen and helium.
Asteroid belt average distance from the sun: 300-350 million km
Most asteroids revolve around the sun between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. This region of the solar system is called the asteroid belt. Over 10,000 asteroids have been discovered. Most asteroids are less than 1 km in diameter. The largest asteroids Ceres, Pallas, and Vesta are more than 300 km across. Immersive Learning Software Demonstration AnimationIf you're charged with educating and training students, you're aware of the challenges associated with keeping people engaged with educational material. Using highly-realistic 3D simulations, that are web-based, allows you to provide students with immersive content that keep them engaged for longer periods of time. For an assessment of needs that are specific to your project, please contact us so we can review your requirements and put forward a project plan, including a technology recommendation. |
