Purely hypothetical -RE: For an interstellar object like 3I/ATLAS — to exert a measurable gravitational influence on Earth's oceans or atmosphere .


In theory, for an interstellar object like 3I/ATLAS—currently located about 2.3 AU (roughly 345 million kilometers) from Earth—to exert a measurable gravitational influence on Earth's oceans or atmosphere that could hypothetically disrupt weather patterns and contribute to forming or intensifying a hurricane-scale storm (e.g., something akin to the Category 5 Hurricane Melissa that recently struck Jamaica), its mass would need to be vastly larger than it actually is. 

Hurricanes are primarily driven by Earth's internal climate dynamics, such as warm ocean temperatures, atmospheric moisture, low wind shear, and the Coriolis effect from planetary rotation. 

However, we're considering a purely hypothetical scenario where the object's gravity induces tidal forces strong enough to significantly perturb ocean currents or air masses, potentially triggering or amplifying such conditions.

To quantify this, we'd aim for the object to produce tidal acceleration on Earth comparable to the Moon's (about 1.1 × 10^{-6} m/s²), as the Moon's tides subtly influence coastal weather but don't directly "cause" hurricanes—scaling this up could theoretically lead to more dramatic effects like massive ocean mixing or atmospheric instability. 
The tidal acceleration (Δa) from a distant object is given by:Δa ≈ (2 × G × M × R_earth) / r³Where:
  • G is the gravitational constant (6.6743 × 10^{-11} m³ kg^{-1} s^{-2}),
  • M is the object's mass,
  • R_earth is Earth's radius (6.371 × 10^6 m),
  • r is the distance to the object (about 3.44 × 10^{11} m for 3I/ATLAS).
Rearranging to solve for M when Δa = 1.1 × 10^{-6} m/s²:M = (Δa × r³) / (2 × G × R_earth)Plugging in the values:
  • r³ ≈ 4.07 × 10^{34} m³,
  • 2 × G × R_earth ≈ 8.50 × 10^{-4} m⁴ kg^{-1} s^{-2},
  • This yields M ≈ 5.27 × 10^{31} kg (roughly 26 solar masses).
To find the size, assume a comet-like density (ρ) of 600 kg/m³ (typical for icy bodies). 
The volume V = M / ρ ≈ 8.78 × 10^{28} m³.
The radius is then:Radius = [ (3 × V) / (4 × π) ]^{1/3} ≈ 2.75 × 10^9 m
Thus, the diameter would be about 5.5 × 10^6 km (or roughly 4 times the Sun's diameter).In reality, 3I/ATLAS is a small comet with an estimated nucleus diameter of around 5–50 km (based on various astronomical observations) and a mass on the order of 10^{13}–10^{14} kg, making its actual gravitational effect on Earth trillions of times too weak to influence anything here—far less than even distant planets like Jupiter. 
At such a scale, any "effect" on a hurricane like Melissa would remain purely coincidental, with no causal link.
