The distance between the colliders at the contact point.
This value represents how far apart or interpenetrated the two colliders are at the time the contact was registered:
• A positive separation means the colliders are close but not touching, and the contact was generated in anticipation of a possible collision (due to contact offset thresholds).
• A zero separation means the colliders are just touching, with their surfaces in contact but not overlapping.
• A negative separation indicates that the colliders are overlapping — the more negative the value, the deeper the penetration at that point.
This property is useful for examining how close colliders are, measuring contact depth in overlaps, or fine-tuning collision responses. During the lifetime of a collision, the separation may fluctuate due to simulation corrections, contact offset values, or changes in relative motion.
