Escape Velocity Calculator

Calculate the minimum speed an object must have to escape the gravitational pull of a planet or celestial body.

Escape Velocity (v_e)
11.186 km/s
11185.98 m/s
Imperial Units
25022 mph

The Formula

v_e = √(2GM / R)

Where G is the universal gravitational constant, M is the mass of the body, and R is the distance from the center of the body.
