Time Period of Satellite Calculator

Calculate Time Period of Satellite meters ±5%



Formula

The formula to calculate the Time Period of Satellite is:

\[ T = \frac{(2 \pi)}{R_{Earth}} \sqrt{\frac{(R_{Earth} + h)^3}{g}} \]

Definition

Time period of Satellite is the time taken by the satellite to make one full orbit around any object. Satellite Altitude is the perpendicular distance from the vertex of the triangle to the opposite side.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ T = \frac{(2 \pi)}{R_{Earth}} \sqrt{\frac{(R_{Earth} + 18900000)^3}{g}} = 40007.8482338525 \]
