Below is a complete HTML code block that creates an interactive 3D model of the Solar System using Three.js, a popular JavaScript library for 3D rendering. This model includes planets with their visual orbits, moons for each planet (where applicable), comets, asteroids, and man-made spacecraft like the International Space Station (ISS) and Voyager. The timescale is set to 1 second = 1 day, and the simulation is interactive with camera controls.
The code uses the Three.js library via a CDN, so no local files are required. It includes basic styling and orbit lines for visualization. Due to the complexity of rendering all objects at accurate scales and distances, sizes and distances are scaled down for visibility while maintaining relative proportions as much as possible.

This code creates a 3D Solar System simulation with the following features:
- **Planets and Orbits**: All eight planets with scaled sizes and orbit radii, visible orbit lines, and a timescale of 1 second = 1 day.
- **Moons**: Major moons for each planet (e.g., Earth's Moon, Jupiter's Galilean moons) with their own orbits around their respective planets.
- **Asteroid Belt**: A simplified representation of asteroids between Mars and Jupiter.
- **Comet**: A representation of a comet (inspired by Halley's Comet) with an eccentric orbit.
- **Man-made Objects**: Includes the International Space Station (ISS) orbiting Earth and a Voyager-like probe on an outbound trajectory.
- **Interactivity**: Use the mouse to rotate the view (click and drag) and zoom (scroll wheel).
Note that due to the vast differences in scale and orbital periods in the real Solar System, distances and sizes are adjusted for visibility. Orbital periods are based on real data but scaled to the 1 second = 1 day timescale. The simulation uses Three.js for rendering and includes basic lighting and materials for visual appeal. All dependencies are loaded via CDN, so the code is fully self-contained.Drag to resize
Of course. Here is an interactive 3D model of the solar system, built as a self-contained HTML file.
### Features:
* **Accurate Timescale:** 1 second in the simulation equals 1 day of real time.
* **Interactive Controls:** Use your mouse to rotate, pan, and zoom. Click on a planet or the sun to focus on it.
* **Complete System:** Includes all 8 planets and Pluto, each with their major moons.
* **Dynamic Orbits:** All celestial bodies follow their calculated orbital paths. Visual lines are drawn to trace these orbits.
* **Extra Features:**
* A detailed **Asteroid Belt** between Mars and Jupiter.
* **Halley's Comet** on its correct, highly elliptical orbit.
* Man-made objects: The **International Space Station (ISS)** in low-earth orbit and the **Voyager 1** probe on its journey out of the solar system.
* **Live Data:** A running clock shows the current date in the simulation.

This code creates a simple interactive solar system model with planets, their moons, comets, asteroids, and man-made spacecraft. The timescale is set to 1 second = 1 day. You can adjust the parameters in the `addPlanet`, `addMoon`, `addComet`, `addAsteroid`, and `addSpacecraft` functions to add more objects or change their properties.
To run this code, simply open the HTML file in a web browser that supports WebGL. You can rotate the camera by clicking and dragging the mouse. You can also zoom in and out using the mouse wheel.
**Note:** This is a simplified model and does not account for many factors like the actual orbital mechanics, relative sizes, and distances between the objects. It's meant to be a basic representation and can be improved upon.Drag to resize
# Interactive Solar System Model
I'll create a detailed interactive 3D solar system with planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and spacecraft. The time scale will be 1 second = 1 day as requested.

This interactive solar system model includes:
1. **Planets**: All eight planets with accurate scaled orbits and rotations
2. **Moons**: Major moons for each planet including Earth's Moon, Mars' moons, and Jupiter's Galilean moons
3. **Comets**: Several comets with visible tails that follow elliptical orbits
4. **Asteroids**: Asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter and Kuiper belt beyond Neptune
5. **Spacecraft**: Voyager probes, Hubble Space Telescope, ISS, and New Horizons
6. **Time Scale**: Exactly 1 second = 1 day as requested
7. **Interactive Features**:
- Click on any object to focus the camera
- Toggle orbits and labels visibility
- Control simulation speed
- Reset camera view
- Responsive layout that adapts to any screen
The model uses Three.js for 3D rendering, is visually appealing with planetary effects, and includes cosmic date and elapsed time displays. The orbits are accurately scaled for visualization in a manageable viewing distance.Drag to resize

This interactive solar system model includes:
**Features:**
- All 8 planets with accurate relative sizes and colors
- Major moons for each planet (Moon, Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto, Titan, etc.)
- Asteroid belt with 50 randomly distributed asteroids
- Comets with elliptical orbits (Halley's Comet, Hale-Bopp)
- Man-made satellites (ISS, Hubble) orbiting Earth
- Deep space probe (Voyager 1)
- Saturn's rings
**Interactive Controls:**
- Play/Pause simulation
- Speed control (0.1x to 10x)
- Zoom control
- Pan by clicking and dragging
- Toggle visibility of orbits, moons, asteroids, comets, and satellites
- Mouse wheel zoom
**Visual Elements:**
- Orbital paths for all objects
- Starfield background
- Comet tails
- Planet rings (Saturn)
- Time scale: 1 second = 1 day
The simulation uses realistic orbital periods and relative distances (scaled for visibility). You can explore the solar system by dragging to pan around and using the controls to customize your viewing experience!Drag to resize
Below is a single‑file HTML page. Open it in a modern browser (or paste it into an online HTML editor) and you’ll get an interactive, animated model of the Solar System.
- 1 second of real time = 1 day in‑system time.
- Planets, their major moons, a simple asteroid belt, a couple of comets, and a few iconic spacecraft are included.
- Use the mouse (or touch) to rotate, pan, and zoom.
- Click the “Pause/Play” button to stop/start the animation, and the speed slider to change the time‑scale.
