Formula: Third Cosmic Velocity (Escape the Solar System)
Escape Velocity of a Rocket to Leave the Solar System

Third cosmic velocity

Unit
Escape velocity necessary to escape the gravitational field of the solar system from the Earth without falling back into the solar system. Here, only the most dominant gravitational force is considered, namely that of the sun.

Solar mass

Unit
The mass of our sun or another central star.

Planet mass

Unit
Mass of the Earth or another planet from which the solar system is to be left.

Planet radius

Unit
Radius of the Earth or another planet from which the escape is started.

Abstand Planet-Sonne

Unit
Der mittlere Abstand der Erde (oder eines anderen Planeten) von der Sonne (oder einem anderen Zentralgestirn).
