Orthographic Projection Extentprojection extent in QgisQGIS

So I have a world-map-layer in Qgis. SuchQGIS, such as the one by typing "world" in the coordinate box.

I then set the project-crs to a custom orthographic projection. The world-layer gets reprojected on the fly correctly.

enter image description here

I then create a layer from the extent of the world-map, densify it to like 1000 vertices. I expected it to just fit to the outline of the globe. however it does this:

What am I doing wrong? When using the "Globe Builder" Plugin things work and the bounding box layer, on EPSG:3857 looks like this:

whereWhere is this coming from and how could I create it? I'd be thankful for any tip!
