Task 1 – Tutorial Animation:
Task 2 – Changes:
Change 1: Adding realistic textures onto the objects, including adding textures to the sun and various moons.
Pluto Texture: https://www.deviantart.com/4stron4omi4/art/Pluto-Texture-Map-%28Fixed-Blur-%2B-Unmaped-Areas%29-1101489593
All Other Textures: https://www.solarsystemscope.com/textures/
Change 2: Realistic orbital speeds
I made the speed at which the planets orbit around the sun as accurate as possible. I used Earth as a baseline, setting it to complete a full orbit (360 Rotate Y) by the end of the animation. From there I took the orbital periods of each planet in comparison to Earth, divided them from 360, and input them into the Rotate Y channel on the last keyframe.
Orbital Periods obtained from:

Change 3: Scale of the Sun Inverts
X, Y, Z values for Scale changes from 4 to -4 throughout the animation
