The Gravity Well is an excellent tool to help students visualize the physics involved in planets orbiting the sun and the Theory of General Relativity. The more massive the body, the deeper and more extensive the gravity well. Our sun exerts a deep and vast gravity well relative to other bodies in our solar system which keeps the planets rotating around it.

You can use the Gravity Well to investigate:
- Coalescence of stars
- Orbiting
- Variation of the orbital period with distance from a star
- Formation of orbital systems
