Planets with GBE capacity limit?

3,751

I was wondering, I know that Gravitational Binding Energy is what keeps a planet together, but I was wondering, can there be areas where energy can be held that radiates with GBE capacity of greater and not harm the planet or will it harm it still?
 
So say celestial body changed and it possesses matter that has exceptionally large energy, it would count to it’s GBE right?
 
Bump, so would adding mass that has higher than normal energy to a planet increase it’s GBE?

If you add any amount of mass to a body, then yes.

GBE is influenced by two things; radius of the body and its mass, so if either of those two things fluctuate, then the GBE will also change as a result, and mass can be converted to energy and vice versa with E=mc².

Objects with the highest GBE tend to be dense (such as neutron stars), as a higher mass increases GBE, while a larger radius would decrease it (and a smaller radius increases it as well).

That's also why destroying a neutron star is 4-B, despite it only being like 10 kilometers in radius, because it has an astronomically high GBE.

Okay, thank you so much for the answer.
