You could use set camera range to maybe fix this problem. Anyway your sun should not be so close to the planets. A sun can also be a flat plain, just rotate it to face the camera all of the time.

It is possible that objects disappear when they are too small in perspective. But it is also possible that this has to do with the camera range.
set camera range minDist, maxDist

In your case, maxDist has to be alot higher than 640 000).

It's the programmer's life:
Have a problem, solve the problem, and have a new problem to solve.

what exactly does disable object z depth do.
try to not make your sun so big other wise it will overlap the planets

There are two types of people in this world: people who are extremly cool and are good at everything and people who are me.

Disable object depth makes an object draw in front of everything, even if it is behind everything. You can use it for certain things, but once you move around in 3D it can look a real mess at times. Great for 2D though.

you could scale everything down so its smaller but looks just as big in proportion.

Dont code slowly be SWIFT about it!
