This template calculates the altitude of an orbit, given the mass of the planet, the planet's radius and the period of the orbit. The altitude will be calculated by {{OrbitAltitude/Core}} and then parsed with {{Formatnum}} and adding a unit.

Parameters

Template:Parameter Table

Examples

Usage Result
{{OrbitAltitude | period=64980 | mass=4.515e21 | radius=320000 | factor=k}}
2 862.36 km
{{OrbitAltitude | period=64980 | mass=4.515e21 | radius=320000}}
