Solar system drawing

Limitations

The position of the small body is computed using so-called two-body equations: only the gravitational force of the Sun is considered in the viewer. If the small body makes a close approach to the Earth or a planet, its position as shown in this viewer may become inaccurate.

You are especially cautioned against using this viewer to make predictions of the small body's position a long time in the future or past.

Accurate positions of small bodies can be obtained from our Horizons ephemeris system which uses a numerically integrated high fidelity model which includes gravitational perturbations by the Sun, all the planets, and some of the largest asteroids.

Solar system 3d

The orbit viewer is limited to dates between 1600-01-01 and 2200-01-01.

Orbit Paths

Orbit paths are rendered such that the portion of the orbit above the ecliptic plane is shown with a heavy line weight and the portion below is shown with a light line weight.

When zoomed in extremely close to a planet or moon, it may appear slightly off its orbit path. This is due to the fact that the orbit path is appro
