ktsu.io.Physics.Earth

The ktsu.io.Physics.Earth library provides a set of classes and methods to work with Earth's physical properties and calculations, including gravity, radius, mass, and volume. It also offers methods for computing gravity at different altitudes and related geophysical quantities.

Features

  • Gravity at Sea Level: Earth.GravityAtSeaLevel
  • Earth's Radius, Diameter, and Circumference: Earth.Radius, Earth.Diameter, Earth.Circumference
  • Earth's Mass and Volume: Earth.Mass, Earth.Volume
  • Earth's Average Density: Earth.Density
  • Geophysical Calculations:
    • Gravity at Geometric and Geopotential Altitudes: Earth.GravityAtAltitude, Earth.GravityAtGeopotentialAltitude
    • Geopotential Altitude Calculation: Earth.GeopotentialAltitude
    • Reciprocal Relative Altitude Calculation: Earth.ReciprocalRelativeAltitude

Installation

To install the ktsu.io.Physics.Earth library, use the following command:

dotnet add package ktsu.io.Physics.Earth

Usage

Basic Properties

using ktsu.io.Physics.Earth;
using ktsu.io.PhysicalQuantity.Length;

var gravityAtSeaLevel = Earth.GravityAtSeaLevel;
var earthRadius = Earth.Radius;
var earthDiameter = Earth.Diameter;
var earthMass = Earth.Mass;
var earthVolume = Earth.Volume;
var earthDensity = Earth.Density;

Geophysical Calculations

Gravity at Altitude

var altitude = 1000.Meters();
var gravityAtAltitude = Earth.GravityAtAltitude(altitude);

Gravity at Geopotential Altitude

var geopotentialAltitude = 1000.Meters();
var gravityAtGeopotentialAltitude = Earth.GravityAtGeopotentialAltitude(geopotentialAltitude);

Geopotential Altitude Calculation

var geometricAltitude = 1000.Meters();
var geopotentialAltitude = Earth.GeopotentialAltitude(geometricAltitude);

Reciprocal Relative Altitude Calculation

var altitude = 1000.Meters();
var reciprocalRelativeAltitude = Earth.ReciprocalRelativeAltitude(altitude);
