This orbital period reference table shows the orbital period for a range of orbit radius values, assuming a central body mass of 5,972,000,000,000,000,327,155,712 kg. Every figure is computed with the same engine that powers our Orbital Period Calculator, so the numbers are exact.

How to use this table

Find the row closest to your orbit radius and read across to the orbital period. For a value between two rows, the real figure sits between them — or enter your exact numbers in the Orbital Period Calculator for a precise answer.

Need a value that is not in the table? — the Orbital Period Calculator does it instantly, for free, with the formula and a worked example built in.
