% Solar flux variation over Earth orbit.

 Model the Earth orbit around the sun for a year and call SolarFlx, to
 demonstrate the variation in solar flux, which is nearly 100 W/m2.  The
 reported flux is the flux above the atmosphere.

 The same scaling law is used by TerrestrialSolarFlux, which also returns
 the sun unit vector in the Earth-centered (ECI) frame, but using the Almanac
 function SunV1 to compute the sun vector instead of PlanetPosition. The
 results are therefore slightly different.
