Chapter 609 - Chapter 360: Europa: Damn it! _2

Regarding the gravitational sphere of influence of Jupiter, there are some misconceptions that need to be clarified.

As the largest planet in the Solar System, Jupiter indeed possesses a powerful gravitational pull, but this doesn't mean it has a specific "gravitational range" or "gravitational radius" as some non-scientific articles might describe.

In fact, the gravitational influence of a celestial body is infinite, although the strength of the gravity decreases rapidly with distance.

According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, Jupiter's gravitational influence extends indefinitely throughout the universe, but at distances far from Jupiter, this influence becomes extremely weak,

so much so that one doesn't need to travel far from Jupiter before its gravity can be considered negligible in practical applications.
