Gravity Application

This is a planetary (or any other object) simulator which makes use of Newton's Law of Gravitation to show the positions of the planets as a function of time. The simulation parameters can be edited, and planets/objects can be added and removed. The accuracy of the simulation is totally dependent on the "timestep" parameter.

Important: This software requires Java 1.4 or above to be installed your computer. If this is not the case, the links will not work. Java is available as a free download.

Here are the currently available starting configurations:

• Inner planets (default system)
• All 8 major planets
• Inner planets with large encroaching body
• A binary star system
