In Universe Sandbox there could be the disintegration of comet.
I mean small comets.
ison or as the comet Schumaker-Levy-9

Shoemaker-Levy is probably a better example as ISON had more evaporation in it.
I agree that we should be able to see comets and other small bodies break up when they come too close to a large gravity well.
-
I think that comets should disintegrate by a factor of 0.01 moon masses per day.

Yes... we're working on this.
Based on the temperature of the body and the materials that it's made of, the surface gravity and the surface area it will off-gas the water or gas at a certain rate...
All planets will do this, not just small bodies.

ok thank Dan

All planets will do that?,that's awesome,but i will like to see the planet disintegrating with some real animation or something,no just disappear
-
hmm, maybe something erosion like and once it's lose enough weight it'll swing out of orbit and kill everythings
-
Well, killing everything sounds a little too dark for a little comet, don't you think? Kol, but really, I think Eric has more or less got this covered.

I think what you're referring to is the roche limit
