See title. This is a shower thought that popped into me while slowly waking up. I’m thinking, what if due to e.g. gravitational shenanigans, the pull on a planet is such that a planet stands relatively motionless in a fixed position towards its star?
Is that possible or am I forgetting some astronomy basics?


If r was zero, or m was zero it could work.
So it’s either at the body’s core or it has no mass.
