Orbit paths, planet sizes and Sun size are not to scale. Orbit speeds are altered for each planet
because you wanted to see it that way.
FYI: Yes, I'm aware that pluto is not classified as a true planet,
but I put it there because many of us like to see it included with the rest of the planets. Enjoy!
Factoid:
You might find this interesting, especially those who are familiar with HTML & CSS code. This web page does NOT use
any images to represent the planets & the Sun (NO images anywhere on this page, NOT the title bar, the orbits, and
NOT even the lines pointing to the orbits), and does NOT employ the use of JavaScript to move the planets around the
Sun. Everything is displayed via a system of DIV tags & CSS and CSS does all the animation.
FYI: The size of this box also grows and shrinks via CSS controls. In past times, Web site designers needed to use
JavaScript to execute this same effect, but with the growing CSS code available, some of these actions can be handed over to CSS. Nice!
