# Calceph Earth-Sun distance

This is a small tool to compute earth sun distance based on CALCEPH package.

This project contains two Python scripts:

* [solarDistanceComputation.py](solarDistanceComputation.py): A script which

  uses the CALCEPH library to compute the earth/sun distance. It takes as an

  input:

    * the ephemeris file(s) to use (examples can be find on https://www.imcce.fr/inpop/)

    * the year of the date for which the solar distance has to be computed

    * the month of the date for which the solar distance has to be computed

    * the day of the date for which the solar distance has to be computed

    * the hour of the date for which the solar distance has to be computed

    * the minute of the date for which the solar distance has to be computed

    * the second of the date for which the solar distance has to be computed

* [cmpToDayMonthMethod.py](cmpToDayMonthMethod.py): A script which plots (for

  a whole year) the solar distance given by the CALCEPH library and

  a elliptical model method. It also gives some statistics on the difference

  between those two measures. It takes as an input:

    * the ephemeris file(s) to use (examples can be find on https://www.imcce.fr/inpop/)

    * the year for which the comparison will be done

## Requirements

To use these scripts, the **calcephpy** package must be previously installed.

``pip install calcephpy``
