Satellite orbital period (Kepler third law) depends on orbital radius and central body mass: T² ∝ a³.
ସୂତ୍ର
Apply T = 2π√(a³/GM)
- T
- 2π√(a³/GM) — 2π√(a³/GM)
- GM
- GM value — Variable used in the calculation

Does satellite speed change with altitude?
Yes, inverse √r relationship; lower orbits faster.
