Celestia represents the Earth (and other planets) by a sphere which Celestia generates internally. Its diameter, coloration and shape are specified in the SSC catalog file /data/solarsys.ssc

To learn how to have Celestia draw your own planet, with bump shading on mountains and specular reflections on water, take a look at the SSC documentation on the Motherlode at
