Earth Sim
Earth Sim is a GPU-powered real-time globe for weather, satellite, and aircraft data. It renders Earth as a 3D scene you can rotate and inspect, with live overlays instead of a static map.
How it works
- Cesium drives the globe, terrain, and camera; Three.js handles extra 3D work
- Weather layers drape onto the surface as color overlays
- Aircraft positions plot as tracks over the map
- satellite.js computes satellite orbits and places them around the planet
