See the values of various\nphysical parameters in standard (SI, CGS) units and celestial equivalencies.\n\n### Support\n\nCurrently, the SolarGUI application is tested with **Python** `v3.7`, `3.8` and `3.9`.\n\n## How to install?\n\n### pip\n\nThe SolarGUI is available via `pip`. Simply use the command,\n\n`pip install SolarGUI`\n\n### wheel file\n\nThe wheel can also be downloaded from\nthis [wheel](https://github.com/AstrophysicsAndPython/SolarGUI/releases/download/v0.1.4/SolarGUI-0.1.4-py3-none-any.whl)\nlink and installed via\n\n`pip install [download_directory]/SolarGUI-0.1.6-py3-none-any.whl`\n\nOnce the SolarGUI has been installed, you can simply launch it from the terminal/installation environment via,\n\n`SolarGUI`\n\n### Note:\n\n_**The user should be made aware of the fact that not all the physical, orbital, or observational parameters are\nknown/available for the Moons of planets hence there will be `None` values when dealing with Moons of the planets.**_\n\nThe frontend of SolarGUI provides several buttons for stars, planets, moons, and other celestial objects.\n\n![img.png](images/SolarGUI__frontEnd.png)\n\nEach button will open a new window with access to physical, orbital, observational (and optionally, images) buttons\nwhich contain information regarding the particular objects' parameters,\n\n![img.png](images/SolarGUI__propertyView.png)\n\nClicking on the desired button will trigger a frame for the particular properties of the celestial object.\n\nFor example, if the user selects `Physical Parameters`, the following parameters will be listed\n\n1. age,\n2. mass,\n3. radius,\n4. volume,\n5. density,\n6. surface area,\n7. surface gravity, and\n8. escape velocity.\n\n![img.png](images/SolarGUI__physicalParameters.png)\n\nSimilarly, clicking on the `Orbital Parameters` will trigger the frame with orbital parameters in it, such as\n\n1. Semi-major axis\n2. Eccentricity\n3. Perihelion distance\n4. Apehelian distance\n5. Orbital period\n6. Average orbital speed\n7. Mean anomaly\n8. Inclination\n9. Longitude of ascending node\n10. Argument of perihelion, and\n11. Axial tilt.\n\n![img.png](images/SolarGUI__orbitalParameters.png)\n\nSame goes for the `Observational Parameters` with values,\n\n1. Mean apparent magnitude[^1]\n2. Geometric albedo[^2]\n3. Distance from Earth[^3]\n4. Absolute Magnitude[^4]\n5. Mean angular size[^5]\n\n[^1]: The mean apparent magnitude was either calculated as the mean of minimum and maximum apparent magnitude, or taken\nas the value given.\n[^2]: Where the value for geometric albedo wasn't provided, the value of albedo was used instead.\n[^3]: The distance to Earth was found by subtracting the Planet-Moon distance from the Earth-Planet distance.\n[^4]: The absolute magnitude is calculated based on the following formula\n$M = m - 5\\log10(d) + 5$\nwhich may not be appropriate for the calculation of absolute magnitude for planets. This is planned to be fixed with the\nnext release.\n[^5]: At times when only the angular size was provided, it was taken as the mean angular size of the object.\n\n![img.png](images/SolarGUI__observationalParameters.png)\n\nThe dropdown menus will show various other units of measures. The equivalencies button on the top right can be used to\nsee the equivalent values for other celestial objects.\n\n![img.png](images/SolarGUI__equivalencies.png)\n\nThe images button contains a few selected images for the celestial objects (for now, only Sun and the planets including\nPluto)\n\n![img.png](images/SolarGUI__images.png)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsyedalimohsinbukhari%2Fsolargui","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fsyedalimohsinbukhari%2Fsolargui","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsyedalimohsinbukhari%2Fsolargui/lists"}
