Merged with an adjacent moon: too close for both to hold a stable orbit.
Merged with an adjacent moon: too close for both to hold a stable orbit.
Outside the synchronous orbit: slowly receding, like Luna (~cm per year).
Tidal braking locked the planet to its moon: one face forever moonward.
Tidal heat sustains a subsurface ocean over a rock seafloor: a strong candidate for life (Europa-like, 99/100).
Merged with an adjacent moon: too close for both to hold a stable orbit.
Inside the synchronous orbit: it spiraled inward and was torn apart at the Roche limit (Phobos's fate).
Outside the synchronous orbit: slowly receding, like Luna (~cm per year).
Tidal heat sustains a subsurface ocean over a rock seafloor: a strong candidate for life (Europa-like, 46/100).
Inside the Roche limit (1.92 planet radii): torn apart into a ring system.
