About the Solar System Explorer

The Solar System Explorer is an interactive diagram of the eight planets orbiting the Sun, letting you click each planet to see key facts — size, distance from the Sun, orbital period, number of moons and notable characteristics — presented visually rather than as a plain text list.

It's built as a learning aid for students and curious readers: seeing the planets' relative sizes and orbital distances laid out interactively makes scale differences (like Jupiter's mass dwarfing Earth's, or Neptune's vastly longer orbital period) far more intuitive than reading numbers in a textbook table.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Pluto included as a planet in this explorer?

No, following the International Astronomical Union's 2006 reclassification, Pluto is categorized as a dwarf planet, so this explorer covers the eight recognized planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

Are the planet sizes and distances shown to true scale?

The diagram is illustrative rather than perfectly to-scale, since the real distances between planets are so vast that an accurately-scaled diagram would make inner planets invisibly small — actual figures for size and distance are given in the fact panel for each planet.

Is my data safe when I use Solar System Explorer?

Most AIVEXA tools run entirely in your browser (client-side), which means your files and inputs are processed on your own device and are not uploaded to a server.

Can I use Solar System Explorer on mobile, and is it free?

Yes — it works on any modern browser (desktop, Android or iOS) without installing an app, and it's free to use with no signup or watermark.
