The heliocentric view shows the orbits of the planets quite nicely. It is disappointing that the interface is so heavily crowded with adverts but the interactive content looks good [apparently there is a downloadable version which is free of ads but I haven't been able to find it]

 

You could got to this page:

 

Link 2: Solar System Scope

 

Launch Solar System Scope from that page and then make it full screen press the space bar] This way it does not have adverts.

 

Warning: For those wanna-be astronauts and space travelers out there, this interactive model of the solar system could prove to be highly addictive
