'''Astronomical algorithms''' are the [[algorithm]]s used to calculate [[ephemeris|ephemerides]], [[calendar]]s, and positions (as in [[celestial navigation]] or [[satellite navigation]]). Examples of large and complex [[astronomy|astronomical]] algorithms are those used to calculate the position of the [[Moon]]. A simple example is the [[Julian day#Calculation|calculation of the Julian day]].

[[Numerical model of solar system]] discusses a generalized approach to local astronomical modeling. The ''[[variations séculaires des orbites planétaires]]'' describes an often used model.
