Planet Applet
The bright planets - Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn - as well as the Sun and the Moon (The seven wanderers known to the ancients.), are the subjects of this applet. It provides 6 views: a diagram showing the rise and set times over the year, a view at the local horizon (rectangular and polar), a view of the ecliptic plane, and a sky map and earth map view.
Exercises for exploring solar, lunar, and planetary events are included.
