Planet rotation with gravity

      Hi all.
      I would like to simulate the rotation of planet earth.
      I would like to get your advice on how to do this first.
      1. In transient analysis.
      2. How to take gravity into account; is it enough to apply it along the axis?
      3. Will it be necessary to make a scaled model? 1:100000.

      Hi,

      For example you want to model rotation of earth around sun then you would need to know the rottional velocity, acceleration, centriffugal force, coriolis force etc.
