Merged with an adjacent moon: too close for both to hold a stable orbit.
Inside the Roche limit (2.80 planet radii): torn apart into a ring system.
Outside the synchronous orbit: slowly receding, like Luna (~cm per year).
Tidal braking locked the planet to its moon: one face forever moonward.
Too warm for ice and too small to hold an atmosphere: the ice sublimated, leaving bare rock.
