The Impact Power property of an object represents the rate that energy from collisions is added to the object over time. Impact Power is a read-only property that is continually calculated by Universe Sandbox.
Property Details[ | ]
Location[ | ]
For Planetary Body object, the Impact Power property is located in the Energy Flow section of the object's Surface tab, when the Energy Absorption Rate property is expanded.
Units[ | ]
Impact Power can be viewed using the following units:
- Solar luminosity (L star) = 3.846×1026 W
- Watts (W) is the SI unit for luminosity.

Temperature[ | ]
Impact Power is one of several sources of energy that can increase an object's Average Temperature. If the object is not currently experiencing a collision, the Impact Power will be zero.
