Fork of Fork of Fork of Earth with Magnetic Field
An animated Three.js visualization of the solar system shows the Sun, eight planets, and Earth's magnetic field rendered as dipole field lines extending between orange and blue pole markers. The scene includes textured planetary surfaces, Saturn's rings, and interactive OrbitControls for camera rotation and zoom. Planet textures are loaded from Three.js example sources, with sizes and distances artistically scaled for visibility while the magnetic field lines follow the mathematical dipole equation r = C·sin²(θ).

How It Works
The magnetic field is represented using dipole field equations that create curved lines from the north pole to the south pole. The field lines follow the mathematical formula: r = C * sin²(θ), which d
The blue marker indicates the north magnetic pole, and the orange marker indicates the south magnetic pole.
Note: Planet sizes and distances are not to scale to improve visualization.
