# Solar System Visualization
## Overview
This project visualizes the **solar system** using Python and **Plotly**. It provides an interactive **3D representation** of the planets and their orbits around the Sun.
## Features
- **3D Interactive Visualization**: Rotate and zoom into planets
- **Accurate Distances & Orbits**: Realistic planetary motion
- **Customizable**: Modify planetary sizes, colors, orbits
- **Educational**: A great learning tool for astronomy students
## Technologies Used
- **Python**
- **Plotly**
- **NumPy**
## Installation
### Prerequisites
Ensure you have **Python 3.7+** installed.
### Clone the Repository
```bash
git clone https://github.com/veydant-katyal/solar-system-visualization.git
cd solar-system-visualization
```
### Install Dependencies
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
## Usage
### Run Jupyter Notebook
```bash
jupyter notebook notebooks/solar_system_visualisation.ipynb
```
### Run as a python script
```bash
python src/visualization.py
```
## Output
The output will be a 3D solar system with planets revolving around the Sun. You can interactively zoom, pan, and rotate.
