Future of the Moon
Now the Moon is moving away from the Earth. However, when the day and month are equal, it will begin to approach. Will the Moon fall to Earth or not?
Efficiency of tidal friction
Now we will calculate the efficiency of the tidal forces. Let us find out which part of the spent energy of rotation is transferred to another body (for example, from […]
Synchronous orbit
During the tidal interaction, energy is transferred either from the planet to the satellite, or from the satellite to the planet. What does it depend on?
Tidal forces
The picture for this article is taken from the Internet. There are many such pictures, and all contain the same fundamental error. Which one? I hope you can answer this […]
The escaping Moon
If we extrapolate the movement of the Moon into the past, then we can come to the conclusion: 2-3 billion years ago, the Moon was thrown out of the Earth.
