Is there a way to create a planet rim effect?

I want to make an inverted sphere with reversed lighting.
Basically, I want to swap the shadows and the lighting on a specific part/meshpart.

Im creating a solar system game and want to make realistic atmospheres for planets like Earth, Mars, and others.

A planet rim effect that i expect:

Is that possible to make inside of Roblox?
If not, are there other ways to achieve this?

This can be achieved by a BillBoardGui with no lightinfluence, with a ImageLabel with the texture of a circle with gradient edges.

If it’s not bright enough, you can change it’s brightness in the BillBoardGui properties.
