Calculate orbital period or semi-major axis using Kepler's Third Law

📖 Kepler's Third Law

Kepler's Third Law states that the square of the orbital period is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis. For circular orbits: T² = (4π²/GM) × a³.

💡 Tips & Information

  • Formula: T² = (4π²/GM) × a³
  • For Earth: T² = a³ (when T in years, a in AU)
  • 1 AU = 1.496 × 10¹¹ meters
  • 1 solar mass = 1.989 × 10³⁰ kg
  • This law applies to all elliptical orbits around a central body
