Read full description

This simulation provides you with a holoprojector which you can use to configure the solar system. 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 establish 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 start the simulation in order to observe the motion of the planets around the sun.
