The sample use a 1 unit radius "planet", and it's density is set acordingly.
What is the dimention of your planet? If it's 100 units radius, you need to
reduce the media's density by 100, it the radius is 1000, reduce the density by
1000.
What is the quality setting? If set to low, it ignore the transparency and the
rgbt 1 (totaly transparent) becomes rgb 1 (white).
