+ SUBROUTINE slERTH (IY, ID, FD, PV)

+
+ Approximate heliocentric position and velocity of the Earth
+
+ Given:
+ IY I year
+ ID I day in year (1 = Jan 1st)
+ FD R fraction of day
+
+ Returned:
+ PV R(6) Earth position & velocity vector
+
+ Notes:
+
+ 1 The date and time is TDB (loosely ET) in a Julian calendar
+ which has been aligned to the ordinary Gregorian
+ calendar for the interval 1900 March 1 to 2100 February 28.
+ The year and day can be obtained by calling slCAYD or
+ slCLYD.
+
+ 2 The Earth heliocentric 6-vector is mean equator and equinox
+ of date. Position part, PV(1-3), is in AU; velocity part,
+ PV(4-6), is in AU/sec.
+
+ 3 Max/RMS errors 1950-2050:
+ 13/5 E-5 AU = 19200/7600 km in position
+ 47/26 E-10 AU/s = 0.0070/0.0039 km/s in speed
+
+ 4 More precise results are obtainable with the routine slEVP.
