[edit] Descriptions
Actual Earth 3D is a fantastic simulator that can be used as a screensaver which shows an Earth view as if the viewer were on the outer space.
With a well achieved definition, it is possible to establish through positioning coordinates the location of the view point, and as if the camera was inside a satellite, to follow the orbit and be static while the planet goes around.
It is also possible to have a series of statistics data, such as the solar or moon day regarding the movement period, the longitude and latitude coordinates measured in grades, the local date and time, etc. Very curious information of this application is that it points the zodiacal house for the observant location.
Actual Earth 3D can be set up through an option panel for visualizing a cloud simulation, squaring with the solar light in real time or showing the artificial planet illumination seen from the space, and also the possibility of changing the view angle at any time. It is worth noting that this program does not allow to zoom on the geographic area, as for example Google Earth , but its important points are the image quality, the simple setting and the few resources which needs for functioning.
