I'm trying to find a way in RSS scale to make a somewhat realistic habitable water world around a gas giant I'm making, roughly the size of Jupiter. The main issue is the radiation zone, if it's too close and the gas giant spins too fast, then the place won't be habitable. the water world itself is roughly earth sized.

you are attracted to an atom a billion light years away
but the attraction is incomprehensibly small -

@SamTheFox interesting that it's gravitationally bound, that's one of the things I didn't expect to happen.

should be about a million kilometers from the planet
and it probably should be a bit smaller than earth size, otherwise a larger barrycenter will appear
i've tested jupiter's gravity vs earth's gravity in a simulation and learned that jupiter is slightly gravitationally bound to earth
