Spherical shell using tikz

How can I draw a spherical shell of a certain thickness using tikz?

I have found this question where somebody was asking about drawing one sphere inside another, which is surely related to this one.

Drawing Sphere to represent a black hole

Any help?

Welcome to TeX.SX! Can you show us what you have tried so far? (Meaning that you can add a Minimal Working Example). As you have already found the other question with nice answers, you have some starting point already - we would appreciate to see it.

Can you also make a sketch how the result should look like?

I'm working on a first approximation right now so that I can show you.
