public bool CanContact(Collider2D collider)

Collider2D

The other Collider that is to be checked to see if it can contact the current Collider.

Type	Description
bool	Returns `true` if both Colliders can contact each other otherwise `false` indicating that they cannot contact each other.

Determining if Colliders can come into contact involves multiple checks including:

Each Collider2D must be active and enabled. See _isActiveAndEnabled.
Each Collider2D must be on a GameObject that is in the same PhysicsScene2D. By default, this is true but see PhysicsSceneExtensions2D.GetPhysicsScene2D and LocalPhysicsMode.Physics2D.
Each Collider2D that is attached to a Rigidbody2D must have a compatible _bodyType. For instance RigidbodyType2D.Static cannot contact another RigidbodyType2D.Static. Without a Rigidbody2D, the Collider2D is implicitly Static. Kinematic vs Kinematic/Static will only contact if _useFullKinematicContacts is enabled.
The Collider2D will not contact if they are specified using Physics2D.IgnoreCollision.
The Collider2D will not contact if they are part of an Effector2D that is using _useColliderMask.
The Collider2D will not contact if their layer collision (in the Layer Collision Matrix) is set to not contact unless overriden using the Rigidbody2D and Collider2D layer overrides.
