How to find out magnitude of translation
I’ve got the planet and some little spheres around this planet, when scene starts, these spheres should be at the same distance from planet, how can I get that? I can’t find out magnitude of sphere’s translation

Vector3 offset = planet - sphere;
return Vector3.Magnitude(offset);

void SetTranslationMagnitude(Transform planet, Transform sphere, float distance)
{
Vector3 offset = planet.position - sphere.position;
sphere.position = planet.position + offset.normalized * distance;
}
