COMMON KNOWLEDGE

Recorded sources
no sources on either side

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that as the Sun expands into a giant, its Roche limit will also expand?

As a star expands into a red giant, its physical size increases, which alters its Roche limit and gravitational interaction parameters with any companion objects.

The analysis

The claim follows directly from the definition and orbital mechanics of the Roche limit, which scales directly with the primary star's radius and the cube root of the mass ratio. Since it is a straightforward astronomical definition and consequence of stellar expansion, no citation is required.
