Click the green flag and see where the planets of the solar system are. Put your mouse on each of the planets to get their names.
If you've seen my other project based on time https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/628363555/ the unix epoch then you might wonder why time zones are not needed for this project let me explain: It's because each planet takes soooooo long to orbit the sun that if it's off by 34 hours it will look pretty much exactly the same even at the tiny pixels but will change by 1 pixel 34 hours before which will be hardly seen and the furthest away time zone from the united kingdom is auckland, new zealend only 13 hours and 45 minutes away. sources: Nasa, Theplanetstoday, BBC, This project isn't actually as accurate as you think because there are too many variables that hurt my brain and I'm just correcting it every 1 or 2 months when the planets up to earth change a significant amount but past mars I just don't care until 2024 jupiter/saturn when they change decently I don't think scratch will be out and uranus or neptune they are too slow to think about and what's so stupid is the site I used for positions of all the planets was working in days and this project works in seconds which really shouldn't be like that. My project I've coded each planet to take an amount of time to orbit the sun: Mercury: 7603200 seconds = 88 days Venus: 21168000 seconds = 245 days Earth: 31536000 seconds = 365 days no leap years Mars: 59356800 seconds = 687 days Jupiter: 374371200 seconds = 4,333 days = 12 years and a bit Saturn: 864000000 seconds = 10,000 days = about 30.5 years Uranus: 2650838400 seconds = 30,681 days = 84 years Neptune: 5184000000 seconds = 60,000 days = 165 years as you can see in the values they are only about 72% accurate at least it's not like all of the planets orbiting the sun in 10 minutes so as a result the project isn't really reliable but it's alright although there is something the might make the project terrible and that's the research I've done it could've all been completely fake and also theplanetstoday.com looks in the night's sky everyday to view where they are whereas this project just knows where they were Thursday 13th January 2022 and counts on the seconds since then and I just can't believe how fast it does it although I never know because of how slow they orbit the sun it doesn't matter if it runs at 1 frame per day or 3 frames per hour or 6 frames per second or 3 frames per nanosecond (impossible) it still looks exactly the same. Nasa has a much more precise version of this project where all the orbits are precisely elliptical as they are in real life and theplanetstoday has a diagrammatic view where the speed keeps changing based off of the elliptical orbit as they get closer to the sun there's more gravity meaning it orbits faster but here I'm displaying the average speed of their elliptical orbit displayed like it was perfectly non-elliptical like a perfect circle. So as a result this project is not really reliable but it's okay because when I made this I wasn't a grown-up I was still years away from adult life and Nasa the primary source that had space probes go into space to check information is much more precise so you should rely on it more: https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/solar-system/our-solar-system/overview/ But then there's a secondary source theplanetstoday.com and it's okay not as good as nasa.gov but it's a better job than I could've possibly done because both of those sources were made by grown-ups and a lot of them also they took their time and wrote a lot of code whereas me much younger than everyone who created and deals with nasa and theplanetstoday made something based off of that that's not really good but it's okay. It's actually completely useless.
