Tilt and rotate the entire system to view from any vantage point. Set the system in motion and watch the planets MOVE around their orbits. Search for planetary alignments or see the phase of the moon for any selected date. Interesting and educational information about the planets is featured. SimSolar can display the sun, planets and orbits to proper scale. You can zoom out and view the whole solar system or zoom in for a better look at the inner planets.
