In GeoGebra, it is possible to create simple animation using. sliders. In the example here you will get explained, how to create an animation, showing the earth's rotation around the sun and the moon on the earth.

Lav Animation
- Consider whether you need grid .
- Put a point in point (0,0) using.
- Rename point to the Sun..
Insert sliders
- Insert a slider as numerical with 0,10,0.1 and name it ‘Afstand_j'.
- Insert a slider as numerical with 0,5,0.1 and name it ‘Afstand_m'.
- Insert a slider as numerical with 1,12,1 and name it ‘Months'.
- Insert a slider that angle with 0,360,0.5 and only rising and name it ‘Time'.
Earth
- Insert a circle fra ud Centre and The Sun and radius and type ‘Afstand_j'.
- Insert a point A using. , which is located to the right of the point The Sun and at the intersection of the circle and x-axis.
- Turn point using. tool Turn object on point and enter Time.
- Rename it was point Earth.
The Moon
- Insert a circle with centrum in Earth and radius and type ‘Afstand_m'.
- Insert a line parallel to the x-axis and passing through point Earth.
- Use the tool and mark the point of intersection between the circle around the earth and the line parallel to the x-axis.
- Rotate around the point of intersection Earth using. tool turn around point object and enter the ‘Months * Time'.
- Rename it was point to The Moon.
- Now you are almost done.
Turn animation and trace
- You can hide point A, point B, and the parallel line.
- You could change the 2 circles look to be dashed or hide them completely.
- You could change the character of the block background color to black and slide the color to white in their properties.
- You could right-click on the item The Moon and select 'Turn on track'.
- Right-click on the slider Time and select 'Turn animation'.
The applet should now look something like this ud
Other images
You can use the following pictures or simply color the points The Sun, Earth and The Moon. That brings it to look like the first picture.
