Open in App
Solution

Orbital velocity is the velocity at which a body revolves around the other body. Objects that travel in uniform circular motion around the Earth are called to be in orbit. The velocity of this orbit depends on the distance between the object and the center of the earth.

This velocity is usually given to the artificial satellites so that it revolves around any particular planet.
