Plotting planets in MATLAB
Show older comments
How do I plot all the planets in relation to the sun; x,y,z for the sun would be 0,0,0. Venus is X = 7.690918093481298E+07; Y =-7.695356068929358E+07; Z =-5.494117392182905E+06. What would the others be?

You have given very little detail about how your data are stored. There are a few possible ways, depending on that.
% Pretend data for the planet & sun locations:
xyz = [0 0 0; rand(8,3)]; % Sorry, Pluto
% Plot them
figure
plot3(xyz(:,1),xyz(:,2),xyz(:,3),'.','MarkerSize',24)
You could also used scatter3 instead of plot3.
