Explore the Earth with the 3D interactive globe. Latest high-resolution 3D satellite imagery. The globe is a three-dimensional model of the Earth.

First, we represent the Earth by a sphere: We slice the Earth through the equator and remove the top. We show the Earth's axis which (by convention) points to North at the top. Parallels of Latitude. We want to be able to indicate how far North or South of the equator we are for any point on the Earth's surface. For example, we wish to connect ...

ArcGIS Earth is a free application designed for visualizing and exploring geospatial content in 3D on desktop and mobile devices. Collaborate and plan with stakeholders on an interactive 3D globe, both online and offline, to gain situational awareness.

OpenGlobus is an open-source JavaScript/TypeScript library for creating virtual globes and visualizing geospatial data with precision at all scales. It supports real-time rendering of terrain, satellite images, buildings, and moving objects. Built on pure WebGL, it’s easy to integrate into projects using its simple API.

3D realistic models of the moon, sun, Earth, Mars, Eris and fictional planets awaiting to be discovered by animators and designers. It's your time to fly.

Utility method to translate cartesian coordinates to the geographic domain. Given a set of 3D cartesian coordinates {x, y, z}, returns the equivalent {lat, lng, altitude} spherical coordinates. Altitude is defined in terms of globe radius units. toGlobeCoords(x, y)

Earth, the third planet from the Sun, is the only known celestial body to support life. With a diverse environment comprising oceans, forests, deserts, and mountains, it boasts a rich variety of ecosystems and species. Approximately 71% of its surface …

Demonstrating how geodesics appear to curve on a 2D representation of 3D space. A geodesic is a line representing the shortest route between two points. In simple terms, it might help to think of this as the route a crow (or aeroplane) would fly to get from one point to another (ignoring any effects for wind).

ESA’s GOCE (Gravity and Ocean Circulation Explorer) mission delivered the most accurate model of the ‘geoid’ ever produced, which is used to further our understanding of how Earth works. It is a crucial reference for measuring ocean circulation, sea-level change, and ice dynamics – all affected by climate change.
