you mean the planet atmosphere?

It would probably look better and render faster with emission

sphere {<0, 0, 0>, 38
 pigment {color rgbt <1, 1, 1, 1>}
 interior {
  media

  method 3
  scattering {1, 2, 0.03}  // tweak till it looks good
  samples 1,1
  intervals 1
  density

   spherical
   color_map {
    [0 color rgb <0,0,0>]
    [1 color <0, 0.75, 1>*10]
   }
   scale 33  // changing adjusts the distance from the planet (which is a
sphere <0,0,0>,35)
  }
  }
 }
 hollow
}
