🧪 Roche Limit Lab
Explore the complex interplay of gravity and tidal forces that govern the stability of celestial bodies. This interactive lab lets you manipulate parameters like mass ratio and gravitational constant to witness firsthand how a body can be torn apart by tidal stresses – a phenomenon known as Roche Limit.
