App idea: A website that lets you generate and edit a custom solar system

I think it would be kind of cool to have a website with a button that you press and generates a custom and completely random solar system for you to view/edit & save. It would give you a completely custom solar system tailored to you, but with rules that make it at least kind of realistic.<br><br>You'd be able to see the time of year it would be in different planets (because some planets have really tilted axes, so some of the time they're going to be facing away from the sun and some of the time they're going to be facing directly into the sun).<br><br>You could also see the planets' relative sizes to each other, the planets' composition (like mostly hydrogen, or mostly iron) and you'd be able to view how their atmosphere looks and how their weather would look. Like, if the pressure is too high, it would probably be toxic to humans and you'd be able to see that.<br><br>You'd also be able to view the atmosphere's pressure so that you can tell if the planet would be hostile to us, where the habitable zones are, the solar system's distance from the center of the galaxy and if it's in the goldilocks zone (not too close, not too far, so that life would have a chance to develop). Also it'd be able to tell you if that planet is actually stable, like if it would be stable in the future.<br><br>You'd also be able to see the planets' moons composition and their atmospheres and make it so that any planet or moon could have life in it.<br><br>And you'd be able to generate a random new planet and you could add it to the solar system.<br><br>And you'd be able to generate random moons and assign them to planets.<br><br>You'd also be able to edit them and save them, and maybe have a feature to share your solar system with others for discussion or whatever.<br><br>I think it'd be really cool to share your own solar system with others, and you'd be able to edit any planet or moon's composition just to see how it changes things.<br><br>I hope this sparks a lot of interest in space and stuff.<br><br>In any case, the page should have a "log in" feature so that you could save and load them and save the ones you like the most.<br><br>And maybe it could also generate random names for the planets and the satellites.
