Fork of Fork of Earth with Magnetic Field
An interactive 3D solar system renders the Sun and eight planets with orbit paths, textured surfaces, and Saturn’s rings, while highlighting Earth’s magnetic field via blue and orange poles connected by dipole field lines. Built with Three.js and ES modules, it uses orbit controls for camera navigation, point and ambient lighting for illumination, and fixed planet scales for clarity. The scene animates planetary rotations and revolutions, and the magnetic field lines are generated from the dipole equation r = C · sin²(θ), with textures loaded from Three.js example assets.

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.
