# Earth Orbit Simulator - Astronomical Accuracy Specification
## Core Challenge
Create a **scientifically accurate Three.js simulation** of Earth's orbit around the Sun with precise astronomical parameters including obliquity, eccentricity, precession, rotation, and accurate solar illumination. The simulation must include time controls to visualize Earth's position and orientation at any point in time.
## Project Overview
Build a single-file HTML application that demonstrates:
- **Accurate Orbital Mechanics**: Kepler's laws, elliptical orbit with correct eccentricity
- **Earth's Rotation**: Sidereal day (23h 56m 4.0916s) at accurate rate
- **Axial Tilt (Obliquity)**: ~23.44° (precisely 23.4392811° for J2000.0 epoch)
- **Orbital Eccentricity**: ~0.0167 (Earth's orbit is slightly elliptical)
- **Axial Precession**: ~26,000 year cycle (precession of the equinoxes)
- **Realistic Lighting**: Sun as light source with accurate Earth day/night terminator
- **Time Simulation**: Ability to speed up/slow down/reverse time
- **Interactive Controls**: Slider to jump to any date/time
## Output Requirements
**File Naming**: `earth_orbit_simulator.html`
**Content Structure**: Self-contained HTML file with astronomical simulation

## Astronomical Accuracy Requirements
### 1. Orbital Mechanics (Kepler's Laws)
**Elliptical Orbit:**
- Semi-major axis: 149.598 million km (1 AU)
- Eccentricity: 0.0167086
- Perihelion: ~147.1 million km (early January)
- Aphelion: ~152.1 million km (early July)
**Orbital Period:**
- Sidereal year: 365.256363004 days
- Tropical year: 365.24219 days
**Mathematical Implementation:**
- Use Kepler's equation to solve for position: `M = E - e·sin(E)`
- Calculate true anomaly from eccentric anomaly
- Convert to Cartesian coordinates in orbital plane
### 2. Earth's Rotation
**Rotational Period:**
- Sidereal day: 23h 56m 4.0916s (0.99726968 days)
- NOT 24 hours (that's solar day)
**Implementation:**
- Rotation angle = (days since epoch / sidereal day) × 360°
- Rotate Earth mesh around Y-axis
### 3. Axial Tilt (Obliquity)
**Current Value:**
- 23.4392811° (J2000.0 epoch reference)
- Changes slowly over time (~23.1° to 24.5° over 41,000 years)
**Implementation:**
- Apply tilt to Earth's rotation group
- Tilt is relative to orbital plane normal
- Keep tilt direction fixed in space (relative to stars)
### 4. Axial Precession
**Precession Period:**
- ~25,772 years (precession of the equinoxes)
- Earth's axis traces a cone in space
**Implementation:**
- Very slow wobble of tilt direction
- Barely noticeable in simulation unless sped up significantly
- Affects which star is the "North Star" over millennia
### 5. Realistic Lighting
**Sun as Point Light:**
- Position at origin (0, 0, 0)
- Intensity sufficient to light Earth realistically
- Enable shadows for accurate terminator
**Day/Night Terminator:**
- Should be perpendicular to Sun-Earth line
- Proper shadow mapping on Earth surface
- Atmospheric scattering effect (optional enhancement)
## UI/UX Requirements
### Information Panel (Top Right)
Display real-time astronomical data:
- **Current Date/Time**: UTC format
- **Julian Date**: Astronomical time standard
- **Days since J2000**: Days since January 1, 2000, 12:00 TT
- **Rotation Angle**: Current rotation in degrees
- **Axial Tilt**: 23.4393° (display constant)
- **Orbital Position**: Angle from perihelion in degrees
- **Distance from Sun**: Current distance in million km
- **Orbital Velocity**: Current orbital speed in km/s
- **Precession Angle**: Current precession phase
- **Season**: Northern/Southern hemisphere season
### Time Controls (Bottom)
**Date/Time Picker:**
- Jump to any specific date/time
- Use HTML5 `<input type="datetime-local">`
**Time Speed Slider:**
- Range: -1,000,000 to +1,000,000 (days per second)
- Center (0): Paused
- Negative: Reverse time
- Positive: Forward time
- Display current speed multiplier
**Quick Control Buttons:**
- **Reverse**: Go backwards at 1 day/second
- **Slower**: Halve current speed
- **Pause**: Stop time (speed = 0)
- **Faster**: Double current speed
- **Forward**: Go forward at 1 day/second
- **Reset**: Return to current real-world time
## Technical Implementation
### Recommended Libraries/APIs
#### Option 1: astronomy-engine (NPM package)
```javascript
// Highly accurate astronomical calculations
// https://github.com/cosinekitty/astronomy
import * as Astronomy from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/astronomy-engine@2.1.19/+esm'
// Get Earth's position at specific time
const time = new Astronomy.AstroTime(new Date());
const earthPos = Astronomy.HelioVector(Astronomy.Body.Earth, time);
```
**Pros:**
- Extremely accurate (JPL ephemeris quality)
- Easy to use
- Handles all orbital mechanics automatically
#### Option 2: Manual Calculation (Recommended for learning)
```javascript
// Implement Kepler's laws manually
// Uses mean orbital elements
function calculateOrbitalPosition(date) {
// 1. Calculate Julian Date
// 2. Days since J2000 epoch
// 3. Mean anomaly = mean longitude - longitude of perihelion
// 4. Solve Kepler's equation iteratively for eccentric anomaly
// 5. Calculate true anomaly
// 6. Convert to Cartesian coordinates
// 7. Apply orbital plane inclination (0° for Earth)
}
```
**Pros:**
- Complete control
- Educational value
- No external dependencies beyond Three.js
#### Option 3: NASA JPL Horizons API
```javascript
// Query NASA's HORIZONS system for precise ephemeris
// https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/api/horizons.api
fetch('https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/api/horizons.api?...')
```
**Pros:**
- Most accurate possible
- Official NASA data
**Cons:**
- Requires API calls (network dependency)
- Rate limited
- More complex setup
### Coordinate Systems
**Three.js Scene:**
- Sun at origin (0, 0, 0)
- Orbital plane in XZ plane (Y = 0)
- +X axis: Vernal equinox direction
- +Y axis: North ecliptic pole
- +Z axis: 90° from vernal equinox
**Earth Orientation:**
- Use nested groups: Sun → Orbit → Tilt → Rotation → Earth
- Orbit group: position along orbital path
- Tilt group: apply 23.44° tilt around Z-axis
- Rotation group: rotate around Y-axis (Earth's axis)
### Texture Resources
**Earth Textures:**
- Day texture: `earth_atmos_2048.jpg` or `earth_daymap_4096.jpg`
- Night texture (optional): `earth_nightmap_2048.jpg`

## Reference Implementation Notes
### Kepler's Equation Solver
```javascript
function solveKeplerEquation(M, e, iterations = 10) {
// M = mean anomaly (radians)
// e = eccentricity
// Solve: M = E - e·sin(E) for E (eccentric anomaly)
let E = M; // Initial guess
for (let i = 0; i < iterations; i++) {
E = E - (E - e * Math.sin(E) - M) / (1 - e * Math.cos(E));
}
return E;
}
function eccentricToTrueAnomaly(E, e) {
// Convert eccentric anomaly to true anomaly
return 2 * Math.atan2(
Math.sqrt(1 + e) * Math.sin(E / 2),
Math.sqrt(1 - e) * Math.cos(E / 2)
);
}
```
### Julian Date Conversion
```javascript
function dateToJulianDate(date) {
// Convert JavaScript Date to Julian Date
return (date.getTime() / 86400000) + 2440587.5;
}
function julianDateToDate(jd) {
// Convert Julian Date to JavaScript Date
return new Date((jd - 2440587.5) * 86400000);
}
```

<title>Earth Orbit Simulator - Kepler's Laws Visualization</title>
<!--
WEB-ENHANCED ITERATION #12
Web Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kepler%27s_equation
Topic: Kepler's Equation - Numerical Solution Methods
Key Learnings Applied:
1. Newton-Raphson solver with optimal initial guess (E_0 = M for e < 0.8)
2. Convergence tracking - monitor iterations and error for validation
3. Enhanced numerical stability with proper convergence criteria
4. Debug panel showing all Kepler calculation internals (M, E, v, iterations, error)
Unique Enhancements:
- Orbital trail visualization showing Earth's historical path
- Perihelion/aphelion markers with labels and distance indicators
- Real-time velocity vector arrows showing speed/direction changes
- Kepler solver debug panel with live convergence data
- Color-coded orbit segments by season
- Area-swept visualization (Kepler's 2nd Law demonstration)
- Eccentric anomaly reference circle overlay
Astronomical Parameters:
- Eccentricity: 0.0167086
- Semi-major axis: 149.598M km (1 AU)
- Sidereal day: 23h 56m 4.0916s
- Axial tilt: 23.4393° (J2000)
- Kepler solver precision: <1e-10 radians

<!--
WEB LEARNING SOURCE: https://mattloftus.github.io/2016/02/03/threejs-p2/
Three.js Earth-Moon System Tutorial
KEY LEARNINGS APPLIED:
1. Multi-layer texture approach: Base texture + transparent cloud layer as separate sphere
- Cloud layer at radius 5.15 (slightly larger than Earth at 5.0)
- Opacity 0.15 for realistic transparency without obscuring surface
2. Material properties for realism:
- MeshPhongMaterial with specular highlights (0x333333) for ocean reflections
- Shininess: 5 for controlled reflection characteristics
- Separate materials for day/night textures with shader-based blending
3. Enhanced lighting setup:
- Ambient light (0x222222) for base illumination without washing out shadows
- Point light at Sun with proper intensity (2.5) for realistic solar illumination
- Shadow mapping enabled for accurate day/night terminator
UNIQUE ENHANCEMENTS FOR ITERATION 13:
- Multi-texture Earth with day/night/clouds/specular/normal maps
- Custom shader for day/night texture blending based on sun position
- Animated cloud layer (slower rotation than Earth)
- Enhanced atmospheric glow with gradient shader
- Lens flare effect from Sun
- Camera preset system for different viewing angles
- Premium visual quality while maintaining 60fps performance
