I put torus all over the spherical earth (not yet ready to scale it for
the delta of 23 km over 6000+ km), same scene as for the original post
of this threads, just different camera. They are spaced 5° apart, with a
colour coding (black is 0, 30, ..; multiple of 15 are green; multiple of
10 are red, and other are blue). So, yes, it's a mere coincidence that
the blue ones get in front at the edge.

In fact, the black torus are a bit bigger, so extending further the map
(with a 3:4 ratio for instance) would get a blacker edge. But there is
no real interest of such picture (at least with the torus), isn't there ?
