====== Distance Sun-Earth ====== The relative distance between sun and earth varies as a function of the Julian day $J$: $$d_{se} = 1+0.033*cos \left ( \frac {2*\pi}{365} * J \right ) $$. The value $d_{se}$ is needed to calculate the [[en:hydro:extraterrestrial-radiation|extraterrestrial solar radiation]].
