Inside the Roche limit (1.92 planet radii): torn apart into a ring system.
Small and distant: a quiet, stable companion.
Tidal braking locked the planet to its moon: one face forever moonward.
Merged with an adjacent moon: too close for both to hold a stable orbit.
Small and distant: a quiet, stable companion.
Too warm for nitrogen and methane frost and too small to hold them as an atmosphere: those ices escaped to space, leaving water ice.
Too warm for ice and too small to hold an atmosphere: the ice sublimated, leaving bare rock.
Small and distant: a quiet, stable companion.
A thin tidal-warmed subsurface ocean may exist, but conditions are marginal (28/100).
