Hello everyone!
I am using
planetEphemeris(juliandate(y, m, d), 'Sun', 'Mars')
to extract the position of Mars relative to Sun at a given date
y, m, d.
Now, I need to add a specific number of days to that date and extract the position of the new date. Apparently,
planetEphemeris(juliandate(y, m, d) + n, 'Sun', 'Mars')
does not work. What do I need to add instead of n to have the position of Mars in, say, 100 days after that date?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Asatur Khurshdyan,
According to documentation example juliandate() you may use caldays() to add calendar days to a datetime-date.
planetEphemeris(juliandate(datetime(y,m,d)+caldays(n)), 'Sun', 'Mars')
Kind regards,
Robert

It seems to work just fine as far as I can see. When I compare:
jd0 = juliandate(2020, 2, 14);
jd0p100 =juliandate(2020, 2, 14) + 100;
jd0p101 =juliandate(2020, 2, 14 + 100);
isequal(jd0p100,jd0p101) % returns true
jd0p101 - jd0 % returns 100
everything seems OK.
What is your problem? What matlab-version are you using?
