A simulation of the solar system I made for fun based off of the code written for my senior thesis. It uses the leap frog method to calculate forces between planets.

This demonstration is just me moving from planet to planet and showing the images. The distances and sizes are all scaled appropriately except for pluto and the sun. The sun is too big when put in the correct scale so I decided to drastically reduce the size. Pluto is too small considering how far away from everything it is, so I increased its size so it could be noticeable from the center of the system.
