Earth, Clouds, Zoom

Hi everyone ...

I know this must have been done a million times, but after searching the forum up and down can someone point me to a tutorial for the following:
I need something like the Universal opener, where the sun rises behind earth, we get a nice halo from the atmosphere and then zoom out.
So far Iīve tried with the "standard" earth maps, cloud layer and on top a falloff, but canīt get the right results.
And another question: I have two maps 1: earth 2: earth at night. How can I mix these two so that the night layer is only visible at where my point light attenuation starts to fade into darkness.

any help welcome

greets

Christian
