Calculates the synodic orbital period. This is roughly the time between two transfer windows. It works only for Kerbin's moons and Kerbol's planets but not for Kerbin itself.
Parameter
Please note, that both periods have to be in the same time unit. It is recommended to use seconds, especially as the default value for the second parameter is in seconds. Template:Parameter Table
