Description :
*Planets* is a simple interactive program for playing with simulations
of planetary systems, released under the GPL.

*Planets* was originally designed for kids, in particular, for my then
4-year old nephew who is fascinated by astronomy. The user interface is
aimed at being simple enough that a fairly young kid can get some joy
out of it. But the adults who have used it have found it to be pretty
fun as well.

Planets is great for teaching graviation on planetlevel.
