Function to plot the solar system

# Plotting the orbits and planets
for planet in planets:
    orbit = plt.Circle((0, 0), planet["distance_from_sun"], color='gray', fill=False)
    ax.add_artist(orbit)
    ax.plot(planet["distance_from_sun"], 0, 'o', label=planet["name"])
    ax.text(planet["distance_from_sun"], 0, f' {planet["name"]}', verticalalignment='center')

plt.title('Solar System')
plt.xlabel('Distance from Sun (million km)')
plt.ylabel('Distance from Sun (million km)')
plt.legend(loc='upper right')
