Description
An educational and fun solar system app
Visit the planets to discover their properties and the relationships between these. Answer questions that will test and improve your knowledge. If you’re 5 or 75 and interested in astronomy or science in general, try 8 PLANETS and learn more about our wonderful solar system.
FEATURES
• Aesthetic views of the planets with realistic details like equatorial bulge and shadows on the rings of Saturn.
• Lots of buttons to press. Fun for kids of all ages!
• The facts section includes a wealth of information about planetary atmospheres, orbits, rotations, sizes, densities, gravity, moons and so forth.
• You can decide which units planet properties are displayed in. Centigrade or Kelvin degrees, astronomical units or millions of kilometers …
• You can make side-by-side comparisons of planets and planet characteristics. This will help you make your own AHA! discoveries and learn things that you will remember. Why do Earth’s rotation time and length of day differ? Does that extreme bulge at Saturn’s equator have anything to do with its relatively low density and fast rotation time? …
• You can of course toggle on/off preferences such as music, stars, orbit visualization types …
• You can change the speeds of the rotation and orbit animations. A fun feature for younger children. Watch the inner planets race around the sun!
• Last but not least, educational quizzes for 1-4 players. You select the subjects and which planets to include. Use it at home or in the classroom at school.
Hopefully you will enjoy 8 PLANETS, whether you’re a teacher, student or amateur astronomer. It’s quite different from all of the other solar system apps. It fills an empty niche. Looking forward to your feedback and suggestions for improvements and add new features.

A very well written and easy to use interface as well as a good source of basic planetary information. Runs great, and planetary data appears to be accurate. Download it. You won't be disappointed!
