Orrery

Welcome to our daily Solar System update. Below, you’ll find today’s visualization showing the current positions of the inner planets - Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars - as they orbit around the Sun.

This orrery-style representation shows the angular positions of these planets in their journeys around our star. Please note that the distances from the Sun and the sizes of the planets are not to scale; this visualization is specifically designed to illustrate their relative orbital positions rather than their physical dimensions.

Use this daily snapshot to track how these celestial neighbors move at different speeds through their orbits - from Mercury’s quick 88-day journey to Mars’ longer 687-day cycle around the Sun.
