Solar Planets
A downloadable project
# ๐ Solar System Animation
**Watch our Solar System in motion!**
This simple educational animation is built with **Python** and **Pygame**:
- The Sun stays fixed at the center.
- Each planet revolves around the Sun on its own orbit.
- Planets have individual speeds and orbital radii.
- The background shows a starry sky, and labels add a nice touch.
---
## โจ How It Works
- Download the project and run `solar_system.py`.
- Planets move in real-time along calculated circular orbits.
- You can customize the speed and distance of each planet.
