Calculate the orbital velocity for circular orbits
📖 Orbital Velocity
Orbital velocity is the speed required for an object to maintain a stable circular orbit around a central body. It depends on the central body's mass and the orbital radius.

💡 Tips & Information
- Orbital velocity is measured in meters per second (m/s) or km/s
- Formula: v = √(GM / r), where G is gravitational constant, M is mass, r is radius
- Lower orbits have higher orbital velocities
- Earth LEO velocity: ~7.8 km/s
- Geostationary orbit velocity: ~3.1 km/s
