👉 Bathysophic is a term used in astronomy and physics to describe an object that appears to be very deep or far below the surface of its surrounding medium. It can refer to both objects like planets, moons, and asteroids, as well as objects that are more precisely defined as "bathycidal," meaning they are so deep that they appear to be completely submerged in their own liquid environment.
In physics, bathysophic objects are often used to describe the behavior of celestial bodies
