I'm going to guess that your planets are all unit spheres, or not much bigger.
My planet has a radius of 63730 units: 1 unit = 100m, the atmosphere is 1000
units - 100 scale km - thick (density varies appropriately, 99% is below 36km,
50% is below 5.5km).  I'm not terribly concerned about the render time, although
it would be impossible to animate.

As for it being flat and textureless: It isn't.  The planet is a combination of
isosurfaces, one for land, one for ocean, and the water is my best water texture
yet (although I did remove the dispersion).

So, maybe it's a bit overkill, but I like it.

I appreciate all the advice, it's been very helpful.

A.D.B.
