In this app you can explore almost any moon or planet of our solar system and visit remarkable nearby stars and see their location in the Milky Way. But you can also change existing bodies or add new ones and make a solar system of your own. The simulation will then act as a gravity and physics sandbox and recalculate orbits in line with Newton's laws.

- Reduce the resolution in the graphics menu if you have lag please.
Solar System Sim version 0.246
Updated At: 2024-02-16
Changes: Feb 16, 2024
Version 0.246
- Fixed custom texture bug
- Fixed newly added body not appearing in the plane of the closest planet or star
- Moon now facing with the correct side to Earth
- Fixed slider for outer radius of custom rings bug
Solar System Sim version 0.245
Updated At: 2024-02-11
Changes: Feb 11, 2024
Version 0.245
- Improved the precision of the Earth-Moon system, allowing for accurate viewing of Solar and Lunar eclipses up to at least 50 years in the past and future.
- Added a direct location button for Earth (requires location permission) and a time reset button for the current time (top right of the screen)
- Fixed a screen resolution issue; you can adjust the resolution from the graphics menu if problems persist. Lowering the screen resolution might also solve lag
- Fixed issue with annoying artefacts that would sometimes appear in screen corners.
Solar System Sim version 0.243
Updated At: 2024-02-04
Changes: Feb 4, 2024
Version 0.243
- Changed the default speed for a new star in the "Build your own star system" mode to 0.001 km/s, and the default mass of a new planet to 300 Earth masses
- When building a new star system: if you want stable orbits, make sure that the weight of a planet is not too high compared to its star and the weight of a moon is not too high compared to its parent planet. Otherwise planets will start affecting their star's path and moons will start affecting their parent planet's path. It's normal and expected behaviour
- Fixed custom textures, which had become bugged after a previous update.
Solar System Sim version 0.241
Updated At: 2024-01-29
Changes: Jan 29, 2024
Version 0.241
- All galaxies (including custom) can now contain procedural stars.
- Added star clusters near the central black hole of galaxies
- The galactic stars setting is off by default but you can turn it on in the graphics menu ("Galactic stars", on the top). It's recommended to only switch it on if you have a powerful device as it can cause quite a lot of lag on weaker devices.
- In the axis menu of Earth and the Moon, you now have an 'eclipse sheet' function. It basically spawns a huge white sheet on which you can see Earth's or Moon's shadow so you can better see solar and lunar eclipses coming.
Solar System Sim version 0.236
Updated At: 2024-01-10
Changes: Jan 10, 2024
Version 0.236
- You can now add and edit galaxies in the game. To add a galaxy, first add a black hole that will serve as the galaxy's center. With the black hole selected, click the texture button and select one of the available galaxies.
- You can change a galaxy's size using the object button (the one with the sliders on the right).
- Added more galaxy textures, and you can now change their brightness
- Bug fixes
