The 26 pages that link to Roche limit, each with the reason it gives.

• Tidal forceRelated: It marks when differential gravity can tear a satellite apart.

• Giant-impact hypothesisRelated: Debris inside this boundary could remain a ring before spreading outward to accrete.

• SaturnRelated: Tidal disruption offers one possible route to producing ring material around Saturn.

• Tidal heatingRelated: It marks the extreme of tidal deformation, where heating gives way to structural disruption.

• Hot JupiterRelated: A hot Jupiter that migrates too close may be disrupted by stellar tides.

• Tidal interactionRelated: Tidal stresses can disrupt a body that passes inside this boundary.

• Tidal strippingRelated: Crossing this distance can make a satellite unable to retain its material.

• Orbital decayRelated: An inward-decaying satellite can cross this limit and be disrupted before reaching its primary.

• Planetary ringsRelated: Inside this boundary, tides can hinder ring particles from assembling into a single moon.

• Tidal disruptionRelated: It estimates where a body's self-gravity can no longer resist the primary's tidal stress.

• Tidal disruption eventRelated: A star is disrupted when its closest approach brings it inside the black hole's effective tidal limit.

• Galilean moonsRelated: It helps explain why Jupiter’s major moons orbit beyond the region where they would be torn apart.

• Natural satelliteRelated: It helps explain why close satellites can break apart and form rings.

• Rings of SaturnRelated: Saturn’s tides help keep ring material from gathering into a large moon.

• Tidal accelerationRelated: Tidal interactions become disruptive near this boundary, rather than merely changing orbital motion.

• Gravitationally bound systemRelated: Tidal disruption can defeat the internal gravity that keeps a smaller object intact.

• Comet Shoemaker–Levy 9Related: The comet fragmented after passing inside Jupiter’s Roche limit.

• ExomoonRelated: A moon orbiting too close to its planet may be torn apart.

• Moons of SaturnRelated: Saturn’s tides help explain why ring material persists near the planet instead of assembling into a moon.

• Rings of UranusRelated: Uranus’s rings lie inside the region where tides hinder particles from assembling into a moon.

• Moon (astronomy)Related: It helps explain why close-in material forms rings rather than stable moons.

• 2060 ChironRelated: Tidal disruption is one proposed explanation for Chiron’s changing brightness and surrounding material.

• Minor-planet moonRelated: It helps determine whether debris near a minor planet can assemble into a moon.

• Moons of MarsRelated: Phobos orbits near Mars, where tidal disruption could shape its eventual fate.

• Satellite galaxies of the Milky WayRelated: It offers a useful framework for understanding when close Milky Way passages threaten a satellite's cohesion.
