This template calculates terminal velocity of an object given the planet and the altitude from the planet's surface. It assumes that the coefficient of drag is 0.2 and that the cross-sectional area is 1 m<sup>2</sup>. It also assumes that atmospheric density is equal to the atmospheric pressure multiplied by 1.2230948554874 * 0.008.<ref>See the [[Atmosphere]] article.</ref>

This template calculates terminal velocity of an object given the planet and the altitude from the planet's surface. It uses {{Body data}} with the properties mass, radius, pressure and scale height.

#/Name Optional Description Default
1 or planet No The celestial body
2 or alt No The altitude at which the terminal velocity should be calculated.
3 or round Yes Round to the given number of decimal places. Not set/Doesn't round

(M is the mass of the body, r is the body's radius, p0 is pressure at 0 m altitude (“sea level”), a is the altitude above sea level and H is the scale height)

The formula assumes that the coefficient of drag (d) is 0.2 and is used from the atmosphere article.
