In physics, a '''gravity well''' is the [[wikipedia:gravitational potential|gravitational potential]] field around a massive body (a particular kind of [[Wikipedia:potential well|potential well]]). Physical models of gravity wells are sometimes used to illustrate [[wikipedia:orbital mechanics|orbital mechanics]]. Gravity wells are frequently confused with [[Wikipedia:general relativity|general relativistic]] [[Wikipedia:embedded diagram|embedding diagrams]], but the two concepts are unrelated.<ref>'''[[Wikipedia:Gravity Well|Wikipedia]]'''</ref> | In physics, a '''gravity well''' is the [[wikipedia:gravitational potential|gravitational potential]] field around a massive body (a particular kind of [[Wikipedia:potential well|potential well]]).
