About it
A tiny, made-up planet built by the computer from a sphere and a palette of planet colors: blue seas, green land and white clouds for Earth, rusty deserts and white polar caps for Mars, gray craters for the Moon, and banded storms for Jupiter and Neptune. It is a tribute to the very first version of Splashery.
Tap it and a band of night sweeps across it while any clouds race once around it. Day and night happen because a planet spins: at any moment, the half facing its star has day and the other half has night. Earth turns once about every 24 hours, Jupiter in under 10. Pick Earth, Mars, the Moon, Jupiter or Neptune under Planet in the Splash tab.
