Trinary Systems

A trinary system, in an astronomical context, consists of three celestial bodies that are gravitationally bound to each other. This often includes a star and two planets, or three stars. The dynamics of a trinary system can be complex since the gravitational interactions among all three bodies influence their orbits and movements. Such systems provide valuable insights into stellar formation and evolution, as well as the potential for planets to support life, considering the varying environmental conditions that arise from having multiple gravitational influences.
