I built a gravity simulator in pure CSS
I built a gravity simulator in pure CSS launched on January 12, 2022 with 64 votes, #842 of 2,891 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches.
In plain words
A gravity simulator built entirely in CSS that allows users to explore gravitational physics through interactive visualization. The project demonstrates advanced CSS capabilities for creating dynamic animations and physics-based interactions without requiring JavaScript or external libraries. Designed for anyone interested in astronomy, physics education, or creative web development, it offers a hands-on way to understand orbital mechanics and gravitational forces through a browser-based interface.

Just for fun and self education, I've built this over a weekend to teach myself why orbits exist, not just show planets going around. Something that was never clearly explain to me in school. It opens with a guided tour that builds the idea up step by step: two bodies and the equal/opposite force, inertia (the Sun is removed and Earth just drifts straight), then "an orbit is falling and continuously missing," cosmic velocities with a little rocket, Voyager 1 & 2's real gravity assists (the clock runs the actual 1977–1989 dates so the planets orbit into their grand-tour alignment and the…

History: Last year I had to replace the tire on my bike, and I was surprised how difficult it was to find a suitable new tire. There were a lot of numbers written on the casing, so I googled what they meant. In the end I was successful, but I didn't want to do the same work again for the next bike after I've forgotten the details. So I wrote this website. Technically, the web page is kept very simple, no frameworks, no templates, no website builder. It uses HTML5, CSS and JavaScript, and it privides a responsive layout for mobile usage. I'm happy to receive feedback. If you have tried the…
