So now you've set up the moons, you've set up the planets, but it all still seems rather crappy looking. It's still looking nothing like the amazing thing you thought it would be. Well we're nearly there, just two steps away from finishing something you can take home and show your mum.
Next step is to link up the various orbits of the moons so they follow the planets around the sun.
First, make sure your frame slider is sitting on frame 0, so all the planets are in their starting positions. What we're going to do is create a series of hierarchies that will make the orbits of the moons follow the planets around their own orbits. Follow me, I promise to go a little more slowly. Of course, any of those two objects could, themselves, be linked in a similar relationship with any other object. The best example of this is a helicopter.
