SolarSystemElements:

Path: SC/Ephem

% Computes the solar system elements on a given Julian Date.
   The input elements are referenced to JD2000.
   See also Planets, PlanetElements.

   Form:
   [i, W, w, a, e, L] = SolarSystemElements( iv, Wv, wv, av, ev, Lv, jD )
   [i, W, w, a, e, L] = SolarSystemElements( d, jD )
   el = SolarSystemElements( d, jD )
