Planet Families 2

Drag and drop planets and stars to make your own solar system. The physics engine will calculate how gravity between all of the asteroids, planets, and stars affect one another while they move through space.

Can you make a stable solar system? How about a stable solar system with a binary star?

Planet Families works on both phone and tablet devices.
