If you place the sun high above the surface, the whole point of this layer is lost. It is ment to show which spot on the surface the sun is currently directly above. With just a small change of the suns altitude this spot will change with your viewing angle, and at 36,000 km it will be totally useless. It will look more realistic, but the purpose of the layer is lost.

Edit: I can se that the altitude has been changed in the updated placemark. Too bad, I thougt it was a great feature. Totally useless now.
