The Position Vector describes an object's 3D location in the simulation. This [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_vector vector] has three components, representing the object's distance in the x, y, and z directions from the reference object indicated by the [[Relative to]] property. ==Property Details== ===Location=== The Position Vector property can be found by expanding the [[Distance]] property near the top of the [[Motion Tab|Motion]] tab of the object's properties panel. For [[Galaxy]] objects, the Distance property is located in the Properties section of the [[Galaxy Tab|Galaxy]] tab, and the Position Vector refers specifically to the [[Black Hole|Black Hole's]] Position Vector. For [[Galaxy Nebula]] objects, the Distance property is located in the Motion section of the [[Nebula Tab|Nebula]] tab. ===Units=== Each component of the Position Vector can be viewed and edited using the following units: * Milky Way Galaxy radius (milky way) = 5.5Γ10<sup>4</sup> light year * Parsec (parsec) = 3.08568025Γ10<sup>16</sup> m * Light-year (light year) = 9.46073047Γ10<sup>15</sup> m * Astronomical Unit (AU) = 1.495978707Γ10<sup>11</sup> m * Solar radius (sun) = 6.955Γ10<sup>8</sup> m * Lunar distance (lunar dist) = 3.844Γ10<sup>8</sup> m * Light-second (light sec) = 2.99792458Γ10<sup>8</sup> m * Jupiter radius (jupiter) = 6.9911Γ10<sup>7</sup> m * Earth radius (earth) = 6.37101Γ10<sup>6</sup> m * Moon radius (moon) = 1.7371Γ10<sup>6</sup> m * Kilometer (km) = 1000 m * Meter (m) is the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_System_of_Units SI] base unit for length * Centimeter (cm) = 0.01 m * Millimeter (mm) = 0.001 m [[Category:Physics]]
