Roche Potential

Roche Potential is a gravitational potential model that describes the effective potential energy in a rotating, two-body system, incorporating tidal and centrifugal forces to determine the equipotential surfaces and the critical distance at which a celestial body disintegrates due to gravitational disruption.
