Hello! I'm working in an animation of the earth rotating and I need to locate location pins in some countries that accompany the movement of the sphere. The problem I have is that the pins are not hidden behind the sphere but rather rotate in front of it. All the layers are set in 3d but I don't know what I'm missing.
If you can guide me, I will appreciate it very much, I need it urgently!

How have you created the sphere?
Please provide a screenshot of your timeline with all effects and keyframes visible. It's impossible to asses your job without seeing how you've built it.

Nothing wrong. If you created your "Earth" with CC Sphere, it exists inside its own little universe and doesn't interact with your other layers. You need to clip them out manually if they go "behind" the sphere by animating their opacity, using expressions or creating track mattes based on duplicates of your sphere or a matching circle.
