      Looks good! The only thing that stood out as a bit odd to me is the clouds along the coasts of Peru and Chile. It looks like something paranormal is going on lolol

      I’d live there. Can you fast forward 25 years so I can check if I’d still be keen then?

      Looks really good, but there are probably too many clouds over NA and not quite enough clouds over the Amazon.

      Also, a lot of your clouds are a bit flat, and don’t seem to have the swirling effect common over the oceans. Basically it looks like a really photorealistic Earth where the clouds and wind are acting a bit wonky.

      If I were to critique this, I’d say the terminator looks like this is around the equinox, but there’s a lot of snow around the NE US.

      Love it except the South American Pacific coast along Peru. It looks like the cloud is specifically hugging the exact coast and not folding over the land.

      Looks super realistic! Im just a person who likes learning about space but doesnt know much about it all so i dont think i can give much advice other than saying it looks good, overall, i thought it was a real picture because of how amazing it is.

      It looks good, BUT incorrect. There are several notable reasons I would have known not to trust it. One of them is the fact you can’t see Africa, even if it is clearly on the Americas Side. Weirdly the main stock photos people use almost always have Africa displayed prominently (even if below the clouds). I read why this is somewhere, but I don’t remember. Africa is a lot more common than the Americas and when you DO see the Americas they are often at least mostly covered in clouds. Peru and Colombia have differing weather patterns due to the Andes, etc, so it just looks odd. It looks decent, but it doesn’t have the gyres and other things I would recognize. Even under clouds you can often make out the weather pattern by the shape of the clouds that appear above land versus above the ocean.

      I’m not saying I’m an expert, but I do spend a lot of time admiring pictures of Earth from space. I’ve found I can recognize our planet versus randomized generic planets from A.I. most of the time. Just since you’re asking…That’s my own humble opinion.
