You will need to select the main star of the solar system, taking into account the mass, radius and temperature. You will also need to configure the number of orbits of the planets and place each one in its respective orbit. Once you have configured the solar system, you will be able to begin the simulation in order to observe the motion of the planets around the Sun.
