Tilt your camera up is the simplest way. I've also placed my camera between two cloud banks at a decent altitude, and no generated terrain.

There is an option in the render tab to turn off surfaces.

You still need to tilt the camera up a s the "below ground" atmosphere is a little dull.  Boring saturated haze: you are never supposed to see it  ;D

In your objects tab, there's also an option for your planet called 'render surface', unchecking it will do the job.
It's handy for many things like, a complete water covered scene or an enclosed indoor render, in this case T2 won't render the 'shadowed' ground beneath/behind the objects first before rendering the waterplane/object, this saves lots of render time.
