Solar System

This is my solar system project. I added the following elements

I added an object for each planet, but in gameplay you'll only see mercury, venus and mars in addition to the sun, earth and moon covered in the tutorial. The reason for that is that the other planets are simply too far away. distance here is represented as AUx5 in the x axis, so the earth is at position 5, mercury is at 1.95, jupiter is at 26 etc. Something I learned from doing this is that I really should have planned out what was going to be visible in frame before creating extra game objects, but I wanted to leave them in as a learning opportunity. I also got the orbital speeds roughly proportional, although the rotatearound script doesnt allow for partial numbers.
