Hey, I really would like to know how I could make a nice atmosphere around my earth render. Does anyone knows how to make one?

Not sure if it’s a good method but you could probably use a blue halo material.
year… Use halo… Make an object in the center of the planet, with only 1 Vertice in the object. Give it an white halo material, size the halo up so it gets a bit bigger than your planet. And then you are done 
If you can see the halo trough the planet, it might be beacuse you have activatet “Ztransperant” in the planet material. Hope this helps
There is a planet tutorioal that describes how, but use a fresnel sphere insted of halo. The Halo option is fine for stills but is no good for animation. It also takses longer to render a halo than a sphere.
could you tell me where i can get the tut?
