Mass Distribution Models

Mass Distribution Models is a theoretical framework in planetary science that specifies the spatial arrangement of mass within celestial bodies by mathematically representing density variations as a function of radial distance, thereby enabling the calculation of gravitational and rotational properties such as the moment of inertia.
