Tidal forces arise from gravity gradient: near side attracted more than far side, stretching objects. Governs Moon stability and planetary rings.

Przewodnik krok po kroku

  1. 1Input primary mass, satellite mass, separation distance
  2. 2Calculate tidal force gradient
  3. 3Compare to self-gravity

Częste błędy do unikania

  • Confusing tidal force with mass effect
  • Neglecting density in Roche limit

Często zadawane pytania

When does tidal force destroy objects?

When exceeds self-gravity: Roche limit. Depends on density, composition.
