Description This is an early WIP of a model of the solar system.

It is not meant to be realistic or accurate, instead it is to show the order of the planets and speed

The sun texture is currently procedural, but I plan to replace it with a real sun texture augmented with simulated solar flares

To highlight the movement of the planets I added particle "trails" tell me what you think of them :3

Mars and the outer planets are there, just out of sight

The relative orbital periods are correct, and the relative sizes of the planets is correct but the sun is 20 times smaller than it should be in relation to the planets, and the planets are 200 times closer than they should be
