Quickstart Guide
Control Panel: Within the control panel you can define all settings,
settings before you start the simulation via the Play button ( ► ).
Except for the orbital settings
ttings (eccentricity, axi
axial tilt and precession) you can still change them during a simulation run.

Live drawing
Activate this option if the charts should be
updated after each time step. However, this
slows down the simulation considerably. If
deactivated, the data is generated in each
time step, but only displayed after the
simulation has finished.

File
Under File you have two options: On the one
hand, you can use 'Save
'
output' (shortcut Ctrl
+ S) to save the charts locally on your
computer. On the other hand, you can quit the
program via 'Quit' (shortcut Ctrl + G).

Start and Stop
Use the Play and Stop buttons to start or stop
the simulation.
s
Warning: If you stop the
simulation, it will be reset. Use the spacebar
(within the animation) to pause the
simulation
simulation.

Simulation step
Change this option if you want the calculations
to be done once an hour or once a day. With
hourly update steps, you can also observe the
rotation of the planet around its own axis in
the animation screen.

Solar Radiation – Distribution Over Seasons
And Latitudes
This chart shows for each day the distribution
of solar radiation over the latitudes.
latitude

Simulation speed
With this option you can set the simulation
speed. This does not change the step size, but
merely reduces the time between two
simulation steps.

Eccentricity
The eccentricity indicates how much the orbit
deviates from a perfect circle. Change the
eccentricity of the earth between an almost
perfect circle with 0.000055 and an ellipse
with 0.0679.

Solar Radiation – Annual Average
Distribution Over Latitudes
This chart shows the distribution of solar
radiation over a year. The red line shows the
curve progression for the selected settings;
the gray line the standard run with today's
orbital configuration.

Axial tilt
The inclination represents the deviation from
the ecliptic. Change the inclination of the
Earth's axis between 22.10 ° and 24.50 °..

Axial precession
The precession indicates the direction of the
Earth's axis in which it is inclined. Every 26,000
years, it points in the same direction again.
Therefore, you can choose here between a
present state and one in 13,000 years.

Statusbar
The status bar shows the time elapsed in the
simulation in years, the distance of the Earth
to the Sun in Astronomical
stronomical Units (AU), the
orbital speed and
nd the rotational speed in
km/s.

Animation: This window shows the planets orbiting the sun
sun.
Depending on the selected setting, even the 24
24-hour
hour rotation can be observed, as well as the illumination from the sun.

Move
To move the screen, click on the desired
location. The camera then jumps
mps to this
position.

Earth
Our blue planet. If you zoom in, you can even
observe the incidence
idence of light depending on
the position of the sun during the seasons.
seasons

Rotate
To rotate the view, press and hold the right
mouse button and move the mouse up or
down.

Sun
Our central star in all its glory. The sun is the
primary source of heat and light on the Earth
- likewise in the simulation.

Zoom
To zoom in or out of the application, hold
down both mouse buttons and move the
mouse forward (+) or back (-).

Orbit
The orbit that the Earth describes during a
complete cycle around the Sun. Depending on
the eccentricity, the track is more or less
elliptical.

Pause
Press the spacebar once to pause the
simulation. If you press the space bar again,
the run will continue.

Milky Way
In the background you can observe
observ the stars
of the Milky Way and search for known sky
constellations.
