Scaled Solar System Model Animation

A mostly-to-scale model of the solar system, including orbital inclination/obliquity/period, relative size and planetary rotation. That is, under the following assumptions/adjustments:

Assume all the planets start out aligned.
Assume round orbits instead of elliptical orbits.
Planets are 15 times larger than normal (hence, Jupiter is larger than the Sun)
Planets are 100 times closer to the Sun than normal.
1 year has been condensed into 18 seconds.
No rings on planets, and no moons, for simplicity.

With those adjustments in mind, I think this can help one to visualize the relative distances/speeds of the planets in the solar system, while also having all the planets visible :)

Made this as a project for a computer graphics course.
