Fork of Earth with Magnetic Field
A 3D Earth rotates in a starry black void, surrounded by a spherical shell of magnetic field lines rendered as semi-transparent glowing tubes. The visualization includes latitude circles, longitude semicircles, diagonal paths, and traditional dipole lines, with blue and orange markers at the magnetic poles. Built with Three.js and WebGL, the scene uses a realistic Earth texture and supports interactive camera controls for rotation, zoom, and panning.

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 * sinยฒ(ฮธ), which describes how magnetic field lines behave around a dipole magnet (like Earth's core).
The blue marker indicates the north magnetic pole, and the orange marker indicates the south magnetic pole.
