STEP 16: To make our sprites move around the Earth, we will rotate around the center.

  • Click on the SUBJECT tab, then click on .
  • Drag out Rotate about Origin to the bottom of your code, inside the loop.
  • Change the number in the .rotate_origin() command from 45 to the variable rotate.

Notice that all the sprites go 90 degrees around Earth! Next we will make the sprites spread out around the Earth.
