• Each planet is represented as a 3D object
• Orbital motion is calculated using rotation loops
• Animations update every frame
• Continuous rendering ensures smooth motion

This design makes the project easy to extend with moons, rings, labels, or real astronomical data.

• 🛰️ Add moons and asteroid belt

• 📏 Realistic scale and distances

• 🏷️ Planet labels and info panels

• 🎮 Camera controls (zoom, rotate, pan)

• 🌌 Background stars and textures
