Planets is a nice 3D viewer that allows you to explore the Sun and all the planets of our Solar System in high resolution. Imagine you are traveling in a fast spaceship that can orbit the planets, and you may look directly at their surface. The Great Red Spot on Jupiter, the beautiful rings of Saturn, the mysterious structures of the Pluto's surface, all of these can now be seen in great detail. This app is mainly designed for tablets, but it works fine on the modern phones too (Android 6 or newer, landscape orientation).

Settings allows you to enable or disable the axial Rotation, Gyroscopic effect, Voice, Background Music, and Orbits.
