Orbit3d simulates and displays the motion of bodies in space according to Newton's Laws. Users can design their own solar systems to simulate using editing tools which are included with the program. Orbit3d simulates gravity, kinetic energy, momentum, and collisions (both elastic and inelastic) in three dimensions.
Requirements
PPC, MacOS X 10.0 or later.
Be the first to recommend a similar software title.
This is a nice little toy for playing with gravity. It crashes occasionally with multiple windows with the trace feature on, but overall it's still great.
