Wann Sie Hill-Sphaere 3D Explorer

Use the Hill-Sphaere 3D Explorer when you need sphere-of-influence literacy - and skip it when you only need Roche breakup distances or Lagrange equilibrium points.

  • Classroom demos of Earth ~1.5 million km Hill radius
  • Showing why the Moon stays bound to Earth
  • Comparing Earth vs Jupiter Hill shells

This page does not integrate N-body stability and compresses scales for teaching.
