Visible Surface Area of a Sphere

This script will show the trend of the visible area of a spherical body such as a planet or star as the altitude above its surface increases

The user can input: - Size of the sphere being observed - Maximum distance in a desired unit - Step size in a desired unit - Unit size e.g Au

The script was optimized for performance and should run relatively quickly with moderate demanding inputs. Only takes a few seconds (<10) with the included values on a 2018 Macbook Pro with 16GB ram and an i7 processor.
