| 31. | Since tidal forces overwhelm gravity within the Roche limit, no large satellite can coalesce out of smaller particles within that limit.

| 32. | :: : Are roche limit and hydrostatic equilibrium relavent ? ~ U ) 01 : 46, 16 February 2010 ( UTC)
|
| 33. | There were some edits made to the article Roche limit which changed equations using the < math > tag.
|
| 34. | In the distant future these moons will impact the planet or penetrate deeply enough within their Roche limit to be tidally disrupted into fragments.
|
| 35. | :So to sidestep these Roche limit questions, assume an Iron planet the size of the Earth plunging into a Jupiter or Saturn.
|
| 36. | Epsilon Coronae Australis is an W Ursae Majoris variable, indicating that it has a contact companion within the Roche Limit of the primary.
|
| 37. | The roche limit isn't all that far from the Earth's surface anyway ( about 1.5 times the radius ).
|
| 38. | Indeed, almost all known planetary rings are located within their Roche limit ( Saturn's E-Ring being a notable exception ).
|
| 39. | After forming, the ring would spread laterally, leading to satellite formation from whatever portion of it spreads beyond the centaur's Roche Limit.
|
| 40. | Within the Roche limit, bodies of rocky material are dense enough to accrete additional material, whereas less-dense bodies of ice are not.
