Hz Lab — Real Planet Orbits

This version is based on real solar-system parameters (approx.): each planet uses its sidereal orbital period and semi‑major axis.

We time-compress the solar system so the planets move fast enough to hear. Pitch is derived from each planet’s orbit angle, quantized to a scale.

Tap a planet to mute/unmute its tone. Press P for Panic mute.

Note: this is not an ephemeris (no “where the planets are today”). It’s physically grounded ratios + simplified elliptical motion.
