Task 3 develops task 2 further by animating dots to represent the planets as they travel along their orbital paths.
Unlike in task 2, angle cannot by varied in small increments between the values 0 and 2pi as the velocities of the planets would be incorrect at certain places along the orbital path.
Therefore task 3 uses the function developed in task 5( see task 5 page for more details) to increment time to produce the angle the planet would be from the sun at a specific point in time.
Furthermore, like task 2, task 3 presents options to the user to animate the exoplanet systems, solar system as a whole or simply the inner or outer planets due to scaling issues.
Note: Due to issues with Python animation website integration, .mp4 files of the animations are presented to the user, whom we invite to download the python file if they wish (all Python files can be found within the Task files folder of the Github Repository).
