written by
Wolfgang Christian The Two Body Orbits model for teachers shows the motion of two objects (binary star or moon-planet system) interacting via Newton's law of universal gravitation. It is designed to teach physics, Earth science, and environmental science topics by showing the spatial path of objects around their common center of mass (barycenter). An optional 3D view shows the celestial sphere and and the orbital plane (ecliptic). Default units are chosen for Earth obit about our Sun so that the distance unit is one astronomical unit and the time unit is one year.
