Model of Planet Earth spinning?

Hi all,
I'm about to start a little didactic project about the very basics of the planets' orbits in our solar system, using LiveCode. Is there any example of a LiveCode stack with a rotating Earth? Or is there something similar already made?
best,
Daniel

I don't recall if this has what you are looking for but:

Two quite different approaches to the matter at hand. Let me see...

Both are interesting educational resources, thanks. Alas, none of them has a model of something you can recognize as planet Earth (I mean there are no continents or seas). In the animation, the orbiting planets look like have no daily rotation around their axis, just revolution around the Sun.

What a shame, I wouldn't buy it!
