>>10024110>So, in the end its impossible to crash anything on earth due to Roche limit?no, not at all
roche limit is simply the demarcation line where an object orbiting other more massive object that holds uniform shape due to its own gravity starts to break apart
you are on earth right now and you seem to be doing well
that's because your body doesn't hold together by gravity (you DO have mass and therefore you DO have your own gravity, but gravity is a WEAK force, not just in name. it's actually pathetic in strength compared to things like electromagnetism, but it propagates noticeably the more massive something is
and earth and moon ARE massive
but zoom out and imagine they actually hold together more like patch of foam on top of water
a bigger patch floats by and absorbs the smaller one
it's not 100% accurate, because there are different forces at play here, but as a visualization it's close enough
