Not really. It's a region of space around a star in a binary system. Anything orbiting the star wil be gravitationaly bound to it and will continue to orbit that star. If the star expands beyond the Roche lobe then the material will fall into the other star.

What is the difference between a planetary object and a moon?

A planetary object is a body that orbits a star (like a planet or a dwarf planet), whereas a moon is a natural satellite that orbits a planetary object. Moons are smaller bodies that orbit planets or dwarf planets.


Are only gas planets able to have planetary rings?

In our solar system yes, but heres why. The ability for a planet to turn an orbiting body into dust that would become a ring is called the "Roche Limit." Any moon or large asteroid within this range of the planet will be torn up by tidal forces until it becomes a ring. The thing that determines the Roche Limit is the planet's gravity and the tensile strength of the orbiting object. The higher the gravity is, the larger the limit, and the stronger the object, the closer it can be to the planet. The Gas Giants all have large gravitational forces, which allows them to have a much larger Roche Limit. This increases the chances that a moon will fall inside that limit.
