The field outside a body with spherical mass distribution is well known but for a non simmetrical body (or a almost simmetrical body like the earth) which is the approach?. Do you know any reference?
thank you
thank you

Mass distribution refers to the way mass is distributed or spread out within a given space or object. It can be described in terms of the density and arrangement of the mass within the space.
Mass distribution directly affects the strength and shape of the gravitational field. Objects with a higher mass concentration will have a stronger gravitational pull, while objects with a more spread out mass distribution will have a weaker gravitational pull.
No, mass distribution and weight distribution are not the same. Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object, while weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object. Mass distribution affects the gravitational field, which in turn affects the weight distribution of an object.
Mass distribution can be measured using various techniques, such as gravitational lensing, spectroscopy, and imaging. These methods allow scientists to map the distribution of mass within an object or space.
Yes, mass distribution can change over time due to various factors such as the movement of particles, the formation of new objects, or the influence of external forces. These changes can affect the gravitational field and have an impact on the dynamics of the system.
