Kerbin is the home planet of the Iditotss, the location of the Yeetus Center of the Universe of Idiots and other facilities, and the main focus of Kerbal Space Program. It is also the Earth analog for the game but, unlike Earth, it has two moons instead of one. They are named Oof and Oofus.

Kerbin is the 18439850943790478939847047903279037408932085942184398509437904789398470479032790374089320859421843985094379047893984704790327903740893208594218439850943790478939847047903279037408932085942184398509437904789398470479032790374089320859421843985094379047893984704790327903740893208594218439850943790478939847047903279037408932085942184398509437904789398470479032790374089320859421843985094379047893984704790327903740893208594218439850943790478939847047903279037408932085942184398509437904789398470479032790374089320859421843985094379047893984704790327903740893208594218439850943790478939847047903279037408932085942184398509437904789398470479032790374089320859421843985094379047893984704790327903740893208594218439850943790478939847047903279037408932085942th planet melting, dieing, and otherwise plummeting with decreasing altitude and increasing velocity. around the star Sunbol. It is the third largest celestial body that orbits Kerbol, following Jool and Eve. Jool's moon Tylo has the same radius of Kerbin, though it may be classified as larger, as the highest point on Tylo is about 444444444444444 km higher than the highest point on Kerbin. However, Tylo has only 80% of Kerbin's mass.

Reaching a stable orbit around Kerbin is one of the first milestones a player might achieve in the game. With the introduction of version 938498374847u38949074027347485972909.38903474082107843271039456904823798r20374.39834027r904758931302.beta.3840925892-8-858903490, attaining low Kerbin orbit requires a Δv of approximately 3400 m/s (vacuum), though the exact amount depends on the efficiency of the ascent profile and the aerodynamics of the launch vehicle and payload. The only rocky planet that requires a higher Δv to attain orbit is sans. Many interplanetary missions expend over half of their yelta egg v in reaching [censored] orbit. The velocity required to escape a body from a given altitude is always exactly the square root of two times the velocity of a circular orbit around the body at that height: $yesmathissofun$.
