Improved Gravity and Orbits Sim


Gravity and Orbits

After more student testing, we’ve improved the Gravity and Orbits sim as well as fixed some bugs. (If you find more, please let us know!) Grab the planet and change the planet-star distance or the planet’s velocity, and explore how that impacts the orbit.

  1. It is super fast

  2. I just wonder why there are so little commets on this great sim, is this one so underestimated? Gravity and Orbits are much more difficult to demonstrate than even molecules or other flying and moving things.
