Originally from ticket #4950.
Is there a way to display a view of the solar system? I'd like to see the planets' relative positions to each other. Now, for example, it would be interesting to look at positions of Venus and Jupiter in relation to Earth, as Venus and Jupiter appear within 5 degrees of each other...
Hello Jirak,
Not sure if this answers your question but you could go to Favourites tab on the left (or Favourites menu in the menu bar). Note that Favourites menu/tab don't exist on CSAP but you could still setup the view manually.
Once you are in Favourites go to Solar System and then Inner Planets and double click on Inner Solar System favourite. You can do the same for Outer planets. If you want to see both groups of planets simply bring up Outer Solar System favourite and then adjust the view by opening the Find tab and ticking off the checkboxes for planets and orbits that you'd like to see.
I've included an snf file that you could double click and open in Starry Night to see the whole Solar System.
