N-Body Problem
The N-Body Problem refers to the challenge of predicting the individual motions of a group of celestial bodies that interact with each other through gravity. This problem becomes increasingly complex as the number of bodies increases, making it difficult to find exact solutions.
In physics and astronomy, the N-Body Problem is significant for understanding systems like star clusters, galaxies, and planetary systems. While simple cases can be solved analytically, most scenarios require numerical methods or simulations to approximate the movements of the bodies involved, such as planets, moons, and stars.
