I don’t think it’s intended to be an accurate representation of the orbits or the scale, just a representation of planet rotation relative to the others.
To really do the orbits you would need a 3d map anyway as the solar system isn’t on a single plane.
Ok, this is awesome, thx for posting.
I’m having an issue with the fact that the planet sizes aren’t to scale 🙁
Yeah, or the sun (which is like 99% of the mass of the solar system). Oh, and the orbits aren’t circular either.
Does the solar system really reset every time the moon hits Mars? This would explains a lot now that I think of it.
This is all explained in fortune cookies and horoscopes. Pay attention!

The scale is the problem in this case

Kinda shows how big your screen would need to be too see it all…
