Planet-Physics-Test

I tried to create a real-time planetary system simulation using VPython. The program models a simple two-planet one-star system. The planets follow Newtonian Gravity, with their orbits dynamically calculated based on their distance from the sun.

Features

Real-time simulation of planetary motion
Background stars to make it look more realistic
Orbit trails (can be toggled on/off to reduce lag)
Pause & Resume button (or press spacebar)

How to Run

1. Install VPython:
2. Run the Script:
3. Press Spacebar to pause/resume.
4. Click "Disable Trails" to remove orbit paths.

Next Steps

• Maybe add moons orbiting the planets (I tried once and it broke really bad)
• Improve orbit accuracy using better physics
