Escape Velocity Simulation
Current Escape Velocity:
11.2 km/s
at Earth's surface
Surface (0 km)
High (1000 km)
Horizontal (0°)
Vertical (90°)
Factors Affecting Escape Velocity
Escape velocity depends on gravitational potential at the launch point, which is affected by height but not by other factors:
Mass of Body
No effect
Location
No effect
Direction
No effect
Height
Affects velocity
