Solar System

All the orb bodies that revolve around the sun and their space are called the solar system. The celestial bodies that make up the solar system include the eight planets revolving around the sun and the sun, the dwarf planets, satellites orbiting around each planet, and numerous asteroids, comets, and meteors.

The planet's orbital plane is almost the same as the Earth's orbital plane. All planets revolve in the same direction. The far from the sun, the slower revolve.

Mass of the solar system

The sun occupies more than 99% of the total mass of the solar system. Most of the rest of the mass is occupied by planets. Dwarf planets, satellites, asteroids, comets, and planets are only a fraction of the solar system's total mass.

The sun is the only object in the solar system that emits its own light. Other celestial bodies can not produce light themselves and reflect light from the sun.

Description
This is a simulation of a planet orbiting a sun. Initial conditions can be adjusted. Use the sliders to adjust the initial speed of the planet, the initial distance from the center of the planet to the center of the sun, and the mass of the sun. Hit run to see the orbit animate. The orbit will be with elliptical, circular, parabolic, or hyperbolic, depending on the initial conditions. Show the Kepler's 2nd Law of planetary motion trace to see the elliptical orbit broken into eight wedges of equal area, each swept out in equal times.

# data[].attributes.body
Earth's atmosphere refracts, or bends, light. This tilt causes the sun's upper edge to be visible several minutes before sunrise.

# data[].attributes.body
the equator is not directly towards the Sun due to the tilt of the Earth's axis,and the earth revolves which makes half of it gets sunlight

# data[].attributes.body
the Earth's axis is tilted and hence the equator is not facing the Sun directly

# data[].attributes.body
Because it rotates and as it rotates half of it gets sunlight and the other half dosent
