Build a complete, interactive 3D solar system simulator in a single HTML file using Three.js. WHAT IT DOES A 3D simulation of the solar system with realistic orbits, adjustable speed controls, and an immersive starfield background. The user can rotate the view, zoom in/out, and see planets orbiting the sun with accurate relative sizes and orbital paths. CORE FEATURES 1. 3D Scene A sun at the center with a warm, glowing texture (simple emission glow) All 8 planets orbiting the sun (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) Orbital paths shown as faint, semi-transparent rings Planets with different sizes and colors (approximate, not to scale but visually distinct) A starfield background with thousands of twinkling stars 2. Controls OrbitControls: click and drag to rotate the view, scroll to zoom Speed slider: adjustable speed (0x to 5x) to speed up or slow down orbits Pause/Resume button: freeze or resume the simulation Click on any planet to focus the camera on it A reset button to return to default view 3. UI & HUD Planet labels floating above each planet (name + icon) A "Speed" slider at the bottom A "Pause" / "Resume" button in the bottom right A subtle, modern dark glass UI (dark mode, sci-fi aesthetic) Small info box in the corner showing the current time or speed multiplier 4. Visual Enhancements Realistic-looking planets with basic color gradients Soft glow effect around the sun Orbits as dashed or semi-transparent lines Lighting that makes planets look dimensional, not flat 5. Technical Details Use Three.js from CDN All code in a single HTML file Smooth 60fps performance Mouse controls: drag to rotate, scroll to zoom Keyboard shortcut: Spacebar to toggle pause Build a polished, interactive solar system simulator that someone would actually want to explore.
