This visualization shows all eight planets of our solar system and how they distort the fabric of spacetime. The grid represents spacetime, and the curvature illustrates gravity's effects according to Einstein's theory of general relativity.
Each planet is represented by its first letter. Refer to the labels index for the full names and colors.
Use the slider to adjust the simulation speed. Observe how larger planets create more significant distortions in the spacetime fabric.
Use the zoom controls to get a closer or wider view of the solar system.
