5-A?

And why is the GBE that is calculated with the formula and the stardestroyer.net page different from the one that appears in the attack power table? And why does it not appear in the Standard sizes part of the AP page that Uranus is used for the 5-A?


Formula: (3*(6.67408x10^-11)*((8.681 × 10^25)^2)) / (5*25362000) = 1.1898677e+34 Joules

Planetary Parameter Calculator: 1.153E+34 Joules
 
I believe the Planetary Parameter calculator is a simplification of using the GBE formula, which is precisely why we don't use the calculated GBE of Earth, 2.24E+32 J (Using more accurate and even more complicated methods, its actual value is 2.49E+32 J), because our planets are not perfect spheres and not all of them have constant densities.

Speaking of which, why is our Earth GBE on 2.487E+32 J when we could just flat out round it off to 2.49E+32 J as it is on wikipedia?

Yes, I know, but my question is why the value in the AP table is different from the one in the formula, where does that value come from?

DontTalkDT should prolly know the answer to this. I was gonna say Assaltwaffle but he's long gone.

Anyway, using the classic GBE formula of U = (3 * G * M^2)/(5r), in which U is GBE in joules, G is the gravitational constant of 6.67408E-11, M is mass in kilograms, r is radius in meters

Or you could use this normal GBE calculator as well

And using the classic GBE formula I get values within close proximity of the one in our AP chart.

This blog has some rough estimates.
The blog was in this thread as well, but I think it was rejected by DontTalkDT because the GBE of the Earth was inaccurate, since the actual GBE is 2.49E+32 joules for Earth assuming all its inequal densities and somesuch using the Preliminary Reference Earth Model.

I think I get it now, I believe the value for Uranus was figured out taking the average mean from the GBE formula value and the StarDestroyer value.
