Planet Animation using HTML CSS
I embarked on creating this mesmerizing planet animation with a blend of creativity and technical prowess.
Conceptualization: I began by visualizing the movement and interaction between the Earth and the Moon, ensuring a balance between realism and artistic flair.
HTML Structure: I structured the project using HTML, establishing the foundation for the animation. The Earth, Moon, and their orbits were defined as separate elements.
CSS Styling: Leveraging CSS, I meticulously styled each element. I applied gradients and shadows to the planets for a lifelike appearance, and carefully adjusted dimensions and positions.
Keyframes Animation: I employed CSS keyframes to orchestrate the motion. This involved specifying key points in the animation timeline and defining how elements would transition between them.
Orbit Calculations: To simulate the elliptical orbits, I calculated and implemented precise CSS animations that replicated the celestial paths of both the Earth and the Moon.
Responsive Design: I ensured the animation was responsive, adapting seamlessly to different screen sizes and devices, providing a consistent and engaging user experience.
Testing and Refinement: Rigorous testing was conducted across various browsers to guarantee compatibility. I fine-tuned parameters to iron out any discrepancies and enhance visual appeal.
Optimization: I optimized the animation for performance, minimizing load times while retaining high-quality visuals, thus ensuring a smooth and immersive user experience.
