Our Solar System

An interactive journey through our solar system. Click on the planet buttons to appear to make a bypass trip of that planet. Click on "Stop" to pause for a while and "Go" to continue or just choose another planet to cruise by. You can alter the speed of your "fly-by" by clicking the "Faster" or "Slower" buttons. Current speed is shown in the bottom left of the screen. Use "Stop" to also try and catch the comet which randomly crosses your screen. Clicking on "More" will give you extra information about the planet displayed in addition to the facts shown in the top left and bottom right of the screen.
