No, not parenting, but light linking. You can link lights to objects by going to Window|Relationship Editors|Light Linking. In that window you can select which light should light up which object. That way you can have one light for your planet and a separate light for your atmosphere.

If you don't my suggesting more stuff: In the Render Stats of your spheres, go to Tesselation and up the amounts there - you're spheres will look much rounder and not have that jagged edge.

Actually, being a newbie myself, I am not sure whether smooth is the same as upping the tesselation attributes. I will check that out. By the way, I made a typo in my previous post: read "Attribute Window" instead of "Render Stats" - i guess you figured that out.

I think with facing ratio the glow will change as the camera moves giving a realistic dynamic look...well i think it does that...hehehe
If you know something about it let me know!!!
like always thanks!!!

you can see that there should be a light glow on the atmosphere...and i think facing ratio is the solution....instead of messing with intensity halo spread etc...
any comments appreciated
