How does the Satellite Period Calculator work?

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

Can you give an example of how to use the Satellite Period Calculator?

Example: Input ISS at 400 km altitude around Earth gives a result of T ≈ 90 minutes (16 orbits per day).
