Big feature update! Added a full leaderboard system… scores save to a JSON file and top 10 are displayed with medals 🥇🥈🥉.

Created a new Solar System Facts page with 10 cool space facts. Main menu now has 5 buttons: Explore Planets, Start Quiz, Leaderboard, Solar Facts, and How to Play. Screenshot attached…

Updated all 8 planets with extra details.. each planet now shows day length and year length alongside distance, size, and moons. The planet info screen now displays 5 detailed stats in a clean info box. Also expanded the quiz question bank from 20 to 30 questions across all 3 difficulty levels (Easy/Medium/Hard), covering topics like moons, telescopes, and Europa’s hidden ocean. The game is getting bigger! Screenshot attached!

If time runs out, the question auto skips. Planet explorer now shows detailed info like distance from Sun, size, moons, and a fun fact for each planet. Added a How to Play screen and expanded quiz to 20 questions across 3 difficulty levels. Results now show score percentage with better feedback.

I built the first version of OrbitTrivia, a space-themed Python GUI app using Tkinter. Users can click on planets to see interesting facts about them. I also started improving the UI to give it a space theme.
