What is Gravity Simulator?

A gravity and space simulation application allows users to learn about the forces that govern the motions of celestial bodies in the universe. Leveraging JavaScript and WebGL, this tool enables exploration of diverse space-based scenarios, empowering users to observe the effects of altering key parameters such as the gravitational constant or the mass of planets. Through hands-on experimentation, individuals can deepen their understanding of the complex interplay of gravitational forces that shape the dynamics of our solar system and beyond. The application provides a rich, interactive environment where users can freely manipulate variables, analyze the resulting changes, and gain valuable insights into the fundamental principles underlying the behavior of astronomical objects

Highlights

  • Adjust gravitational constant to observe impact on solar system dynamics
  • Modify mass of individual planets, like increasing Jupiter's mass
  • Explore diverse space-based scenarios through interactive simulation
  • Leverage JavaScript and WebGL for advanced visualization and modeling
