Animated Physics - The Solar System

Planets around the sun - Gravity simulations to calculate orbit speed, period, aphelion (farthest point from sun) and perihelion (closest
point to sun) for each planet. Inner planets are animated with a one billion km viewing width and a 9 hour timestep between calculations.
