PlanetaryRadiationAndAlbedo:

Path: SC/Environs

% Computes the albedo and radiation flux for planets. 
   Uses the Constant database for planetary constants and the Planets function
   to determine the average planetary distance for solar flux.
   Type PlanetaryRadiationAndAlbedo for a demo at Mars and the Earth.
