1: Re-color objects (Sun, planets, moon) with textures from https://planetpixelemporium.com/index.php
Note that there is only 1 texture for moons for simplicity.1: Re-color objects (Sun, planets, moon) with textures from https://planetpixelemporium.com/index.php
 2: Change size of objects to be more accurate (based on NASA resources)
Scaled planets' diameter according to that of the Sun. Moon are kept scaled to half of planets for simplicity. 2: Change size of objects to be more accurate (based on NASA resources)
3: Change distance of planets from Sun to be more accurate (based on NASA resources)
Planets are spaced according to distance from Sun (au). May be difficult to identify planets due to more realistic scaling/distancing.3: Change distance of planets from Sun to be more accurate (based on NASA resources)
