| Feb 22, 2022 at 12:32 | comment | added | Peter Erwin | You have to use the same units everywhere. You cannot directly use solar masses for M1 and earth masses for M2; they have to be in the same units. The calculator on that page is obviously converting everything to the same set of units behind the scenes (e.g., both M1 and M2 are probably converted to kg, the SI version of G is used, and then the resulting period in seconds is converted to days + hours). | |
