function deg = km2deg(km) %KM2DEG Convert distance from kilometers to degrees % % DEG = KM2DEG(KM) converts distances from kilometers to degrees as % measured along a great circle on a sphere with a radius of 6371 km, the % mean radius of the Earth. % % DEG = KM2DEG(KM,RADIUS) converts distances from kilometers to degrees % as measured along a great circle on a sphere having the specified % radius. RADIUS must be in units of kilometers. % % DEG = KM2DEG(KM,SPHERE) converts distances from kilometers to degrees, % as measured along a great circle on a sphere approximating an object in % the Solar System. SPHERE may be one of the following strings: 'sun', % 'moon', 'mercury', 'venus', 'earth', 'mars', 'jupiter', 'saturn', % 'uranus', 'neptune', or 'pluto', and is case-insensitive. % % See also DEG2KM, KM2RAD, KM2NM, KM2SM. % Copyright 1996-2009 The MathWorks, Inc. % $Revision: 1.10.4.4 $ $Date: 2009/03/30 23:38:30 $ rad = km/6371; deg = rad2deg(rad);
