Which mechanism causes tidal forces to distort celestial objects?

💡 Explanation

Tidal forces stretch objects radially due to spacetime's differential gravitational force. This gradient causes varied gravitational acceleration across the object because different parts experience differing gravitational fields, therefore tidal forces arise rather than uniform compression.
