what tools are available for visulaizing orbits?
« on: 02/27/2025 03:21 pm »
I found on visualizer on the web after about five minutes of searching:

What tools do you guys prefer? A google search found a lot of tools but I cannot figure out which are good.

That one is ok, but I've not found one that allows you to rotate the Earth without moving the orbit as well,
or, specify a start position for the orbit.
