This project aims at recreating the solar system at a small scale. While building it you will learn about planets' dimensions, distances between them, revolutions and rotations as well as interesting facts about space.


Keep in mind that for the purpose of the tutorial and in order to have a feasible and still comfortable experience, various aspects had to be adapted. The system has been simplified and scalings are not the same for distances and dimensions.


2. About exploring the Solar System

The experience we are going to build places the user in an artificial set where all planets are aligned and are rotating in place. The goal will be to introduce the planets one by one to the user who is going to travel from one to another, triggering him/herself their revolutions around the sun.


Inside the package of the tutorial you can find the final experience ( _SolarSystemFull), you can double-click on it and play it. This is what the experience looks like:
