Escape Velocity

The Escape Velocity of an object is the speed that a second object would need to have in order to overcome gravity to escape the surface of the first object. An object with a mass of M and a radius of R in a simulation with gravitational constant G will have an escape velocity of
 * $$v_e = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}.$$

Escape Velocity is a read-only property that is calculated automatically by Universe Sandbox.

Location
The Escape Velocity property of an object is located in the Cumulative Properties section of the Composition tab of the object's properties panel.

Units
Escape Velocity can be viewed using the following properties:
 * The Speed of Light (lightspeed) = 2.99792458×108 m/s
 * Kilometers per Second (km/s) = 1000 m/s
 * Meters per Second (m/s) is the SI unit for speed
 * Kilometers per Hour (km/h) = 0.2778 m/s
