Solar System - Earth 3D Screensaver for Windows

Screensavers have long outworn their welcome, but some people still refuse to live without them. If you wouldn't dream of having a blank black screen when your computer is idle, Solar System - Earth 3D Screensaver is for you. It shows you our planet in all of its glory.

The goofy early-'90s sci-fi music this application features is a weird choice, but it doesn't totally detract from the screensaver. As for the image, it's a cool spinning Earth that is actually fun to watch. It isn't the most accurate view of Earth you'll ever see, but it is pretty. Amusingly enough, if you still had a monitor where screen burn-in was an issue -- which is the reason for screensavers -- then this screensaver doesn't move enough to absolutely prevent it. When you stop using the screensaver, you're greeted by a request that you pay $17 for the full version of Solar System - Earth 3D Screensaver.

If you still love screensavers, this one is a delight to look at. It will keep you entertained and will look especially attractive on larger screens. Don't waste your time with the paid version, though. The free Solar System - Earth 3D Screensaver works well enough to not need the upgrade.

Most realistic space screensaver! Very beautiful!
psycom3December 8, 2015
Pros
Very realistic 3D graphics. Earth looks very beautiful. Great sunsets and sunrises. Norton says that file is clean!
Cons
No! No! No! No cons!
Summary
Great graphics, but a buy screen comes up all the time!
sjncousinApril 20, 2013
Pros
This is just what I was looking for...a good motion graphic of the planet earth from space. Cnet.com editors recommended it--(the free version) and it is rated as #1.
Cons
But while trying it out, I am getting very sick and tired of the small, centered, pop-up buy screen that keeps coming up and additionally of the large buy screen which opens an internet window to their website.
Summary
This "CON" annoyance would be the only reason that I might not buy it. A free trial (in my meager opinion,) should NOT include a pop-up buy screen ALL the time!!!
Very nice graphics!

Pros

Cons

Summary
Asked me to register but was not given a key so unless im missing something big time it should NOT be in the free list.

Cons

Summary
Nice fluid animation of the Earth with the Moon and Sun
ZiorSamJanuary 4, 2010
Pros
I was very impressed with the fluid animation and the detailed graphics. On the dark side of the Earth you can see city lights lit up at night.
Cons
Can't think of anything negative to say about this excellent screensaver except that it has a nag screen occationally that pops up briefly.
Summary
It has three levels of detail that can be set from LOW - MEDIUM - HIGH. You can set the volume of the music and there are adjustments for different sized LCD monitors. I tried it out with HIGH detail on a Laptop with a 17 inch monitor and it was awesome. The price of this is well worth it if you decide to buy it and the company has many other acreen savers you can buy that are equally as impressive as this one and you can buy them all in a package for a discound price. The nag screen only comes up briefly occationally until you register it by buying it. I recomend this download very much. This pprogram is a must have screen saver because it is that good. Very impressive.
