Creating the planets with textures

The steps for creating the other eight planets are much like what we followed earlier in the project.

Repeat the following steps for each planet:

1. With SolarSystem selected in Hierarchy, right-click on 3D Object | Sphere.
2. Name the planet, reset its Transform, and delete its Collider.
3. Scale the planet to the size suggested in the preceding table.
4. Position it (x-axis) in a reasonably spaced manner between its neighbors.
5. If not imported already, import the planet's .png texture file into Assets/SolarSystem/Textures.
6. Drag the texture onto the planet sphere.
7. On the material, disable Specular Highlights and Reflections.

9. Add an Orbit component ...
