Calculate Orbit Time

Formula

The formula to calculate the Orbit Time (T) is:

\[ T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{a^3}{G \cdot M}} \]

Where:

Example

Let's say the semi-major axis is \(7 \times 10^6\) meters. Using the formula:

\[ T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{(7 \times 10^6)^3}{6.67430 \times 10^{-11} \cdot 5.972 \times 10^{24}}} \]

We get:

\[ T \approx 5828\text{ seconds} \]

So, the orbit time is approximately 5828 seconds.
