The 19 pages that link to Hill sphere, each with the reason it gives.

• Tidal strippingRelated: Material beyond this gravitational domain is especially vulnerable to removal.

• Restricted three-body problemRelated: Its boundaries approximate where a small body can remain bound to one primary.

• Natural satelliteRelated: A satellite generally must orbit within its primary's Hill sphere to remain bound.

• Trojan asteroidRelated: A planet’s Hill sphere helps set the scale of its gravitational influence on nearby co-orbitals.

• ExomoonRelated: An exomoon must orbit within its planet's region of gravitational dominance.

• Moons of JupiterRelated: It helps explain the space within which Jupiter can keep moons in orbit.

• Space rendezvousRelated: Near a target, its local gravitational influence helps frame relative motion and approach behavior.

• Horseshoe orbitRelated: Close encounters and orbital reversals depend on the scale of each co-orbital body's gravitational influence.

• Moon (astronomy)Related: A planet’s Hill sphere constrains the orbits in which its moons can remain bound.

• ProtoplanetRelated: It approximates the region from which a protoplanet can gravitationally gather material.

• Dermott's lawRelated: The size and stability limits of a satellite system constrain which orbital spacings are possible.

• Minor-planet moonRelated: A moon must remain within its minor planet's gravitational domain despite solar perturbations.
