| SimSolar | | Description: | SimSolar is a solar system simulator (orrery) suitable for classroom or personal use. The positions of the Sun, Moon and Planets are displayed for any date selected. Tilt and rotate the entire system to view from any vantage point. Set the system in motion and watch the planets move around their orbits. You can search for planetary alignments or see the phase of the moon for any selected date.
The bodies tehir and orbits can be displaied to proper scale. You can zoom out and view the whole solar system or zoom in for a better look at the inner planets. Small labels can be turned on, which follow the planets through their motions, making it easy to keep track. | | | Version: | 1.0 | | Filesize: | 1.96 MB | | Added on: | 25-Sep-2003 | | Downloads: | 678 | | Category: | Windows / Solar System Orreries | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | |
| OrbPlan | | Description: | An application that calculates the polar coordinates of the different planets of the Solar System in their orbits and shows a window with a graphic simulation of the planetary movement. The results are exportable (.html, .csv and .txt); an Help File (English and Portuguese) is included.
New with version 2.0: Some errors regarding to the positions were corrected, the output format HTML was redesigned and a window with a Graphic simulating the planets movement was added.

| Planet's Orbits | | Description: | According to the author, this «is an accurate digital orrery with a wealth of functionality. Uses time-dependent orbital elements for the calculation of planetary positions (except for Pluto). Good accuracy is thus obtained for the time range of +/- 4000 years. The most noteworthy functions are date specification (past, future), 3D orbital animation and custom zoom, orbits of 7000+ asteroids, and statistic and information windows.»
We found it the best orrey drawing program ever. A huge bunch of optional data files with orbital elements are available for download. | | | Version: | 1.6 | | Filesize: | 10.87 MB | | Added on: | 01-Aug-2003 | | Downloads: | 932 | | Category: | Windows / Solar System Orreries | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | |
