The universe, right in your pocket. "3D Solar System Tour" is an easy-to-use planetarium app that recreates the Solar System with beautiful 3D graphics, soothing BGM, and detailed voice narration. No complex controls required. Just relax and listen to the stories of the stars. 【Main Feature: Audio Guide Tour】 Narrated Solar System Tour The highlight of this app is the "Tour Mode," which automatically takes you on a journey through all the planets. Just like a museum guide, a calm voice explains the mysteries and characteristics of each planet. Perfect for relaxing before bed or learning something new during your commute. (Available via Rewarded Ads or Premium Plan) 【Other Features】 Beautiful 3D Simulation Explore the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Moon, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Rotate planets with a swipe or zoom in to see their textures. Experience the Vastness: "Real Scale Mode" Switch to scientifically accurate size ratios and distances with a single tap. Note: In this mode, the Sun is massive, while other planets appear merely as tiny dots. While not visually detailed, this mode offers a powerful educational perspective on how vast and empty space truly is. Simple Warp Travel In "Exploration Mode," you can experience the atmosphere of traveling to planets aboard a spaceship. Note: This is a simple visual transition to jump to your destination, not a complex flight simulator. Interesting Astronomical Data Core Data: Diameter, Mass, Orbital/Rotational periods. Travel Time: See how long it would take to reach each planet using the "Apollo" spacecraft or the modern "Parker Solar Probe." 【Premium Features】 The app is free to download.

Planet turns the solar system into something you can hold, spin, and poke at. Built for curious minds of all ages, it trades walls of text for things you can actually touch: drag through the orbits, tap a world to open it up, and see the real numbers behind it. EXPLORE THE SOLAR SYSTEM Pinch to zoom and drag to pan across the planets in their orbits. Tap any planet β€” or the Sun β€” to open its details: diameter, distance from the Sun, day length, and a short description. Then open it as an interactive 3D model you can turn in your hands. BROWSE AND SEARCH Every planet, the Sun, 20 notable moons, and a full overview of the solar system itself β€” how it formed, what's in it, and where we sit in the Milky Way. Search across all of it: type "Olympus" and you'll land on Mars. MOONS Titan's lakes of liquid methane. Enceladus firing geysers of water into space. Io, the most volcanic world we know. Ganymede, bigger than Mercury. Triton, orbiting backwards because Neptune caught it. COMPARE Put two worlds side by side and watch the scale land. Diameter, distance, day length, year length, gravity, and moons β€” drawn to their true relative size. Line Earth up against the Sun and see what 109 times wider actually looks like. TEST YOURSELF 135 questions, ten per round, drawn fresh every time. Every answer comes with a one-line explanation of why it's right, so a wrong guess teaches you something. Miss a few and you'll get them back at the end, with the reasons, to review. WEIGH IN, ANYWHERE Enter your weight and see what you'd weigh on every other planet β€” in kilograms or pounds. Enter your age and find out how many laps of the Sun you'd have made on Mars, or Neptune. SEE THEM IN 3D Load a detailed 3D model of any planet, spin it, and get close. ENGLISH AND PERSIAN Fully translated, including every article and quiz question. Switch language any time in Settings. No accounts. No ads. No data collected. Just the solar system.
