"""
Collection of physical constants and conversion factors.

Most constants are in SI units, so you can do
print('10 mile per minute is', 10*mile/minute, 'm/s or',
    10*mile/(minute*knot), 'knots')

The list is not meant to be comprehensive, but just a convenient list for
everyday use.

physical constants: imported from CODATA
unit conversion: see e.g. NIST special publication 811
Use at own risk: double-check values before calculating your Mars
orbit-insertion burn.
Some constants exist in a few variants, which are marked with suffixes.
The ones without any suffix should be the most common one.
