Not only can you see how long it will take for a full orbit, this value is also editable (which updates the body's semi major axis).This is the formula I used:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_period#Two_bodies_orbiting_each_otherI use a to solve for P -or- If you change P then I solve for a.a = semi major axisP = orbital period
