METHODOLOGY FOR CREATING ANIMATION OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM IN POWERPOINT

Abstract

This article describes the stages of creating an animated model of the Solar System using Microsoft PowerPoint based on an empirical approach. The process includes designing graphical objects, modeling orbital trajectories, and applying Motion Path animation effects to simulate planetary motion. The developed animation model serves as an interactive and visual teaching tool in astronomy education. The study demonstrates that PowerPoint can be effectively used as a simple modeling environment in the educational process. The results highlight the importance of integrating information and communication technologies into modern teaching practice.
