Project Details

This project showcases a 3D simulation of our solar system, illustrating the movement of the sun and planets using the ThreeJs library. The visual representation helps in understanding the dynamics of celestial bodies in a simplified and interactive manner. It emphasizes the use of WebGL through ThreeJs to create realistic and engaging 3D graphics.

Challenges & Solutions

One of the main challenges was achieving smooth animations and interactions within the 3D environment, which was resolved by optimizing the ThreeJs configurations and using efficient rendering techniques.

Future Improvements

Future plans include adding more celestial bodies such as moons and asteroids, improving the realism of textures and lighting, and developing an educational mode with detailed information about each planet.
