All the planets in the solar system will fit between the earth and the moon at the moons farthest distance.
In this video all the planets are fitted between the earth and the moon.
Each planet has a different orbital velocity based on distance, and based on a negligible mass.
The orbital velocities are correct for objects of negligible mass. (In reality everything would crash into each other.)
Why do the planets seem to be going in different directions?
They aren’t. The Orbits of the planets are all going in the same direction, same as the moon would, however the earth is rotating,
and the closer planets are moving faster than the earth rotates therefore they rise in the west instead of the east.
This video takes place over a period of about 4 days.
At night the planets are so bright and fill the sky so well that they illuminate the ground very well.
This illumination effect is done with a decent amount of accuracy.
However the brightness of the stars is a bit exaggerated.
The order of the planets from nearest to farthest (in the simulation) and also smallest to largest:
Pluto -
Mercury -
Mars -
Venus -
Neptune -
Uranus -
Saturn -
Jupiter
Saturns rotation is extra impossible, but I had to prevent the rings from colliding.
The rest of the planets actually have correct sizes, tilts and rotational speeds, including the earth.
Jupiter and Saturn are correctly oblique.
