Fork of Earth with Magnetic Field
This animated WebGL visualization depicts a full solar system with textured planets, orbital paths, and Earth’s magnetic field shown as curved dipole field lines emanating from labeled north and south magnetic poles. Using Three.js with the OrbitControls module, the scene renders the Sun, all eight planets, Saturn’s rings, and a starry background. Field lines follow the dipole equation r = C·sin²(θ), with interactive camera controls for rotation, zoom, and pan.

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.
