Astronomy
Planetary Angular Distance Calculator
Compute the angular separation in degrees between any two celestial objects using their right ascension and declination coordinates. Use it to plan conjunction observations, check alignment of planets, or assess how close two stars appear in the sky.

Astronomy
Comet Perihelion Velocity Calculator
Calculate a comet's maximum speed at perihelion — its closest point to the Sun — using the vis-viva equation. Useful for students, astronomers, and space enthusiasts studying comet dynamics and orbital mechanics.
