Difference between Orbital mechanics and Roche limit

Orbital mechanics vs. Roche limit

Orbital mechanics or astrodynamics is the application of ballistics and celestial mechanics to the practical problems concerning the motion of rockets and other spacecraft. In celestial mechanics, the Roche limit, also called Roche radius, is the distance in which a celestial body, held together only by its own gravity, will disintegrate due to a second celestial body's tidal forces exceeding the first body's gravitational self-attraction.

Similarities between Orbital mechanics and Roche limit

Orbital mechanics and Roche limit have 11 things in common (in Unionpedia): Celestial mechanics, Comet, Eccentricity (mathematics), Gravity, Kepler's laws of planetary motion, Mass, Moon, Newton's law of universal gravitation, Orbit, Solar System, Sun.

Celestial mechanics

Celestial mechanics is the branch of astronomy that deals with the motions of celestial objects.

Comet

A comet is an icy small Solar System body that, when passing close to the Sun, warms and begins to release gases, a process called outgassing.

Eccentricity (mathematics)

In mathematics, the eccentricity, denoted e or \varepsilon, is a parameter associated with every conic section.

Gravity

Gravity, or gravitation, is a natural phenomenon by which all things with mass or energy—including planets, stars, galaxies, and even light—are brought toward (or gravitate toward) one another.

Mass

Mass is both a property of a physical body and a measure of its resistance to acceleration (a change in its state of motion) when a net force is applied.

Newton's law of universal gravitation

Newton's law of universal gravitation states that a particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.
