Jeans Length

Jeans Length is a critical length scale in astrophysics defined as the minimum radius of a homogeneous, isothermal gas cloud below which thermal pressure dominates over self-gravity, preventing gravitational collapse, and above which the cloud becomes unstable and collapses under its own gravity.
