It's already in parts.
What you can do is limit the range of U and V over which those functions are
evaluated.
If you limit U or V to the range from 0 to 0, then you will get a circle.
Swap U and V, and you get "the other" circle
Limit the ranges of both to a fraction of (2*pi), and you get a curved patch
that only covers part of the torus' surface.
Keep one full 2*pi range, and limit the other, and you get a "hoop sweep" around
the torus, one way or the other.
The set of macros takes this concept and just does it 4 times (0, +TStep,
+PStep, +both) to generate 4 corners, and fills that in with 2 smooth triangles.
See clipka's favorite link:

There is no magic.
Look back through the forums, and you can see that we've been exploring this
basic concept --- for years.

The latest version of the scene can now be downloaded from the Object

I have textures, but do not know how to orient them with respect to the
axial tilt, orbit and sun. Is anyone familiar with how to do this?

For Z up Left handed scenes.
texture {
pigment {
image_map{
png "F:\Graphics\B3D Data\Maps\Planets\Earth\EarthMap2.png"
interpolate 2
map_type 1
}
rotate <20.000,0.000,0.000>
}
Then for orientation in an orbit. Rotate the sphere the planet texture
will follow.

That might be -19 to -21 not rotate 20*x

Thanks. But which direction does the axis tilt with respect to the Sun
on a given day?

Earth currently has an axial tilt of about 23.4° and the angle does not
change. With respect to the Sun on a given day, it depends on there it
is in its orbit.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_tilt#Earth
So if you start your Planetarium at the summer or winter equinox. The
mechanics will take care of themselves.
I think. :)

Latest version is attached. It is *very* close, but the Earth is off by
about one month's worth of travel.
Here is the document I am using as a guide:
https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/txt/aprx_pos_planets.pdf
And I am using this website to compare my render to:
https://in-the-sky.org/solarsystem.php
Set it to JD 2458376.5, which is equivalent to A.D. 2018 Sep 15.
I am not sure where my calculations have gone wrong.

If you zoom out, Jupiter is also in the wrong place, so Maybe my results
are *not* so close after all.

Updated the scene. It is working correctly now.
