In classical mechanics, the shell theoremgives gravitational simplifications that can be applied to objects inside or outside a spherically symmetrical body. This theorem has particular application to astronomy.
Isaac Newton proved the shell theoremand stated that:
A spherically symmetric body affects external objects gravitationally as though all of its mass were concentrated at a point at its centre.If the body is a spherically symmetric shell (i.e., a hollow ball), no net gravitational forceis exerted by the shell on any object inside, regardless of the object's location within the shell.
