In this blog post, we delve into the fascinating world of orbital speed, a crucial concept in physics and space exploration. Orbital speed determines the motion of celestial bodies, satellites, and space stations as they travel around larger celestial bodies. We discuss the two most common equations for calculating orbital speed (v = √(GM/R) and v = 2πr/T) and provide step-by-step examples to help you understand and apply these formulas. By mastering orbital speed calculations, you'll gain valuable insight into the mechanics of the cosmos and develop a deeper appreciation for the wonders of space.
