Description

This bug exists in Cesium 1.69 as well.
Try [here](https://sandcastle.cesium.com/?src=3D%20Models.html&label=All). Zoom out a lot then rotate the camera underground.

The farther you zoom from the tracked object, the worse it gets. Cesium man is a few pixels in the center.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the issue in the linked Sandcastle 3D Models example by zooming out and rotating the camera around the tracked Cesium man. Investigate the camera tracking and underground behavior; done when the camera remains above ground and the reproduction no longer worsens at greater zoom distances.
