This graph shows the calculated density of the materials of Earth based on their depth. Designing the properties, data views, and tools for you to construct atmospheres, build and terraform planets, and track these materials is a crucial part of our development process.Simulation of an atmosphere’s heating (the greenhouse effect), color, and opacity, including Venus-like atmospheres, will be based on their material composition.Planet radii and atmospheres will be realistically simulated based on the mass and phase (solid, liquid, and gas) of each material in their composition.Ever wonder how big the Moon would be if it were made entirely of oxygen? Soon you’ll be able to find out. We’re also adding advanced simulation to compute planet radii based on the pressure and temperature of each material in the planet’s composition. For example, new materials like methane will allow us to fully simulate lakes of liquid methane on Titan. We’re expanding the number of materials in Universe Sandbox you can use to simulate, construct, and terraform planets and atmospheres realistically. This feature and interface are a work in progress. Material colors are manually adjusted to help see the lakes. Titan’s properties include the amount of methane and the percentage in each phase (solid, liquid, and gas). Titan with realistic lakes of liquid methane.

Manipulate the temperature of the universe and learn about the cosmic microwave background, a type of faint radiation spread across space, in our new guide We’ve also added a simulation of the dwarf planet Haumea’s rings, which were discovered back in 2017, in the simulation See the dwarf planet Quaoar’s newly discovered rings in the new simulation
