The outer planets are not a very good example of rigid bodies because of their very thick atmospheres, but it is common to assume they are rigid for calculating the angular momentum.

how Differentiate between rigid and deformable bodies?

Rigid bodies maintain their shape and size during deformation, while deformable bodies can change shape and size in response to applied forces. Rigid bodies are idealized as having fixed distances between particles, whereas deformable bodies allow for changes in internal structure. Examples of rigid bodies include rocks and solid metal objects, while examples of deformable bodies include rubber bands and clay.

Why are moons and planets different?

Planets are bodies that orbit a central star (in our case, the Sun), and moons are smaller bodies that orbit planets.


What is the difference between rigid and deformable bodies?

Rigid bodies do not deform when subjected to external forces, maintaining their shape and size, while deformable bodies undergo changes in shape and size when subjected to external forces, such as stretching or compressing. Rigid bodies are commonly used in mechanics for simplifying analysis, whereas deformable bodies are important in studying materials' properties and structural elements.


What are rigid bodies?

Rigid bodies are physical objects in mechanics that do not deform or change shape when subjected to external forces. They are treated as solid and non-compressible for the purpose of simplifying calculations in physics and engineering. Rigid bodies are commonly used to model and analyze the behavior of structures, machinery, and other systems.

Which planets are small solar system bodies?

The eight planets of our system are not considered small solar system bodies, to qualify as a planet in the first place means that they have to be quite large. Small solar system bodies are such things as comets, asteroids, meterorids, moons or minor planets.
