Solar System

A simple yet captivating Solar System animation built with React.js. This project represents a true time-scaled version of the solar system, where every object revolves relative to an Earth year.

🌍 Live Demo: Solar System

Features

  • Time-scaled animation: Each planet's revolution is scaled to real Earth years (1 year = 30 seconds).
  • Dynamic starfield: A randomized starfield using Font Awesome icons for a beautiful cosmic background.
  • CSS animations: Smooth and fluid planet orbits and star twinkles using keyframe animations.
  • Inspiration: A creative twist inspired by Malik Dellidj on CodePen.

How to Use

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/your-username/solarsystem.git
  2. Install the dependencies:

    npm install
  3. Start the project:

    npm start
  4. The project will run locally at http://localhost:3000.

Customization

You can adjust the speed of planet revolutions by changing the --year-in-second variable in the SolarSystem.css file:

:root {
    --year-in-second: 30s; /* 1 Earth year = 30 sec */
}

Feel free to play around with this value to speed up or slow down the revolutions.
