One record per aspect. The origin says what kind of thing each value is; the source says where it came from; the limit says what it cannot tell you.
Position for the simulation time
Earth's position is computed for the simulation instant by astronomy-engine, an analytic ephemeris model. There is no snapshot to age: the same code gives the same answer for any date.
Methodastronomy-engine (analytic planetary and lunar model; Sun through Pluto and the Moon)
UncertaintyRoughly arcminute-level against JPL ephemerides for 1700 to 2200; fixture tests compare selected dates with Horizons.
LimitPositions in the 3D scene are heliocentric J2000 equatorial coordinates; observer-facing tables are apparent, of date, and topocentric (see the frame statements).
Physical data
Undocumented
Bulk properties
Earth: mean radius 6,371 km; mass 5.972 × 10^24 kg. These values are bundled with the object record and drive the rendered size.
SourceBundled object record
LimitThe object catalog does not record where these values came from; treat them as unverified until the record is completed.
Mapped surface · modeled atmosphere
Surface, city lights and clouds form a composite. Cloud patterns are not a live satellite weather feed.
MethodThis describes the displayed appearance only; it does not certify catalog dimensions, orbital elements or unobserved geology.
