And there are some calculations that I can't make, because it's too big or difficult for me. The big problem is that I don't have some notions about physics. Thats why my systems look like unrealistic.


Kikinho, here?s a few tools that can help you with realism.

StarGen outputs realistic solar systems - good orbits/mass distribution, etc. Here?s a web-based version:

To convert times and distances - where needed - you can use:

Stargen does not help you make moons, but you can compare the planets with the ones in our own solar system and their moons, and make assumptions from that.
