…In addition to its original meaning of the tidal effect of a planet on its nearby moon (1), it is also used in the sense of the Roche's robe of a close binary star (2). (1) Consider a moon in circular motion around a spherical planet. The moon is made of a homogeneous fluid of uniform density. The shape of the moon is determined mainly by its own gravity, but the centrifugal force of the rotation and the tidal force of the planet also have an effect. Now, if the radius of the moon's circular orbit slowly decreases and the moon gradually approaches the planet, the shape of the moon becomes an ellipsoid with three unequal axes, and the stable state is one in which the longest axis is always facing the planet. … *Some of the terminology that mentions "Roché, É.A." is listed below.
