Summary
[edit]DescriptionHydrostatic equilibrium.png |
English: An astronomical body is in a state of hydrostatic equilibrium (HE) when its self gravitational force is balanced by its internal pressure; the body is neither expanding nor contracting. From a technical perspective, a body in HE will assume a spherical shape to minimize gravitational potential since any deviations from sphericity increases gravitational energy. The size of deviations is affected by the body’s mass; the larger the mass, the smaller the deviations must be, all else being equal. However, its actual form depends on its rotation rate, mass, material strength, geologic activity and its history |
