Roche limit is minimum distance satellite can orbit before tidal forces exceed self-gravity, disrupting it into rings.

단계별 가이드

  1. 1Input primary density, satellite density, and mass ratio
  2. 2Calculate rigid or fluid limit depending on satellite type
  3. 3Results show minimum stable orbital distance

풀어진 예시

입력
Earth-Moon: Roche limit ~2.46 Earth radii (within Moon orbit)
결과
Moon stable but gradually receding
Currently ~384,400 km

피해야 할 일반적인 실수

  • Confusing rigid and fluid Roche limits
  • Not accounting for density differences

자주 묻는 질문

Are Saturn rings inside Roche limit?

Yes, explaining why rings exist instead of moon.
