Nature is always changing, often in cycles. This [https://www.flightgear.org/tours/simulating-the-ever-changing-scenery/ article] from 2015 details some ways in which Flightgear simulates this constant change. Since that article has been written things like Auroras have been added. The settings are in Menu > Environment > Environment settings. To control volcanic activity (March 2020), fly near a [[Volcanoes|listed volcano]] and goto Environment > Volcanoes to see a list of volcanoes in the region. | Nature is always changing, often in cycles.

The position of the sun, planets, and moon follow reality and are driven by Flightgear's accurate celestial simulation. The arc the sun describes will vary according to time of year and how far away from the equator you are. In winter the arc of the sun keeps lower the further you move towards the poles. Moon phases vary in a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_phase monthly cycle]. Remember the moon is visible during the day too, and can create some striking views especially when zoomed in a bit. | The position of the sun, planets, and moon follow reality and are driven by Flightgear's accurate celestial simulation.
