In Newton's theory of gravitation and in various relativistic classical theories of gravitation, such as general relativity, the tidal tensor represents tidal accelerations of a cloud of test particles,
tidal stresses in a small object immersed in an ambient gravitational field. The tidal tensor represents the relative acceleration due to gravity of two test masses separated by an infinitesimal distance. The component Φ a b represents the relative acceleration in the a ^ direction produced by a
