Bohr's Model of Earth's Orbit
This simulation visualizes Earth's orbit around the Sun according to Bohr's atomic model, where angular momentum is quantized. The quantum number characterizing Earth's revolution is calculated to be approximately 2.6 × 1074.

Quantum Number Calculation
According to Bohr's model, angular momentum is quantized:
mvr = nħ = nh/2π
Where:
- m = mass of Earth = 6.0 × 1024 kg
- v = orbital velocity
- r = orbital radius
- h = Planck's constant = 6.626 × 10-34 Js
- n = quantum number
Current quantum number:
n = 2.6 × 1074
