Planets 3D

A real-time exploration of gravity and planetary motion.

About the Simulation

Planets 3D is a real-time gravitational simulation developed in C++ and OpenGL. It explores how celestial bodies interact through gravity, using Newton's law of universal gravitation to calculate their motion.

Every planet has its own mass, position and velocity. As the simulation progresses, gravitational forces continuously influence their trajectories, producing an evolving planetary system.

What to Explore

• A fully rendered 3D planetary system
• Newtonian gravitational interactions
• Dynamic planetary positions and velocities
• Real-time orbital motion
• Interactive camera controls
