Satellite orbital period (Kepler third law) depends on orbital radius and central body mass: T² ∝ a³.

सूत्र

Apply T = 2π√(a³/GM)
T
2π√(a³/GM) — 2π√(a³/GM)
GM
GM value — Variable used in the calculation

चरण-दर-चरण मार्गदर्शिका

  1. 1Input orbital radius or planet name with altitude
  2. 2Apply T = 2π√(a³/GM)
  3. 3Results show period in hours/days

ISS at 400 km altitude around Earth
परिणाम
T ≈ 90 minutes
16 orbits per day

सामान्य गलतियां जिनसे बचना है

  • Confusing orbital radius with altitude
  • Forgetting Earth radius in altitude conversion

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न

Does satellite speed change with altitude?

Yes, inverse √r relationship; lower orbits faster.
