That's very interesting. But i was thinking there must be a ratio, that we could calculate. As to the minimum distance, that a certain sun/planet masses could be. before this would happen.
Is it OK to just use the old centrifugal force equation and calculate how fast it would have to go before the gravitational "string" would balance? then work back until you found where the point is that the planet would either pull apart or fall into the sun.??
