Hi ya, was going to save this till I released endoFlow but thought "the hell to it"!

All the sizes, dimentions and distances are taken from planetary data.
- The sizes of the planets are accurate when compared to the other sizes
- The orbital radiuses are accurate compared to the other radiuses (except for the moons as they are to small to be show on this scale)
- However, in order to make it look more interesting the planets have been enlarged with respect to their orbital radiuses
- All the orbital periods are accurate, except for Mars's moons as they rotate 280 and 1216 times a year (and that gets a bit mad!)
If you're interested here is the stats I'm using: <pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>//the planets, size and orbital radius and slant are statisticly equivalent
// r = orbital radius
// a = start angle (to make it look less steralised)
// av = orbital velocity, if av=2 then planet does 2 rotations for every 1 that the earth does
// size = relative size of planet
// slant = orbital inclination
// parent = the parent planet
var planets = [{ name: "Sun", r: 0, a: 0, av: 0, size: 150, slant: 0 },
{ name: "Mercury", r: 57, a: 120, av: 4.15, size: 15, slant: 7, parent: 0 },
{ name: "Venus", r: 105, a: 90, av: 1.63, size: 45, slant: 3, parent: 0 },
{ name: "Earth", r: 150, a: 0, av: 1, size: 50, slant: 0, parent: 0 },
{ name: "Mars", r: 225, a: 50, av: 1.8, size: 25, slant: 2, parent: 0 },
{ name: "Moon", r: 10, a: 120, av: 13, size: 10, slant: 5, parent: 3 },
{ name: "Deimos", r: 8, a: 290, av: 25, size: 3, slant: 2, parent: 4 },
{ name: "Phobos", r: 5, a: 30, av: 50, size: 1, slant: 1, parent: 4 }];
