Maryyann-Around the Sun

The gif above is just a little preview. I thought that the tails that the “planets” left were very beautiful. I wish that I was able to make the larger solar system a gif too, but unfortunately, the outer planets rotated too slowly and produced too many frames.

I wanted to express the idea of planets rotating around the sun while being able to see the path each planet takes. If I were to change my code, I would attach particulates to each planet as they rotated around the sun.

You can see it here!
