This project aims to simulate various natural phenomena to achieve a lifelike representation of the Earth.

## Features

- Cities on the dark side of the Earth are illuminated to show human activity.

- Sun's reflection primarily visible on the oceans, not continents.

- The transition zone between day and night (twilight) has a reddish hue.

- The atmosphere surrounding the Earth creates a volumetric glow

## Installation

- Run npm install to install dependencies

- Run npm run dev to launch the local server

## Credits
