Making the sun the center, not the earth

Presently, we're still setting things up with the earth at the center of our universe. Let's make things right, as advised by Copernicus, and move the earth into an orbital position so the sun can be the center. For this, we recommend that you go back to a top-down view in the Scene pane:

  1. In the Scene window, use the gizmo view in the upper-right corner to give a top view (click on the y-axis arrow).
  2. Click on the box in the center of the gizmo.
  3. Now move Earth-Move to Position X=5 and move Sunlight to the origin.
  4. Select Earth-Moon in Hierarchy and set Position to (5, 0, 0).
  5. Select Sunlight in Hierarchy and reset Position to (0,0,0).
