A Planetary System for Your Telescope The Sun, with its mighty power, takes center stage as the base of this intricate creation. Your custom-built Solar System will have exactly five planets. You'll decide how many teeth each planet gets based on your choice in this dropdown menu. To start creating a planetary system for your telescope, let's dive right into setting up some initial parameters. **Number of Teeth per Planet** There are two factors to keep an eye out for here - the total number of teeth for each planet and their distribution. As it turns out, you've set these at seven, meaning we'll divide them evenly across five planets (not forgetting our mighty Sun!) in your new system. Here's a summary: if all five planets have the same amount of teeth, then we'll distribute an additional 2 teeth evenly to all. If there are any more left over after giving each planet its fair share, they get distributed unevenly among those with not as much to begin with. With this information in mind let us continue with setting up the details for your new system. **Dimensions and Shape** Now it's time to focus on creating a sense of space by establishing some key characteristics: size and shape. This choice allows you control over everything from radius to aspect ratio, all through dropdown menus. Here we see six planets that have been defined within the same family but vary in terms like width and total tooth count. The following is an overview of how these parameters break down into five planets along with their associated teeth: - Planets 1-3 have the exact amount: six. With your choices above as guidelines, here's a breakdown of each one based off those dimensions you entered earlier: Planet Name - Diameter (d) - Height to base diameter ratio Tooth Number | Teeth per planet | Mercury | d=15 | h/d = .42 | #_of_teeth_on_planets | 9 Venus | d=35 | h/d = .54 | approx number of teeth on sun | 12 Earth | d=47 | h/d = .45 | TOL (teeth to outer ring) |13
