Study suggests Venus may have lost its moon due to slow rotation
An astrophysics study suggests that Venus may have lost its moon because of the planet's slow rotation. The research proposes that Venus's slow spin could have caused its moon to spiral inwards and be absorbed by the planet. This theory offers a potential explanation for the absence of a moon around Venus, a phenomenon that has long puzzled scientists. The study's findings were published in a recent astrophysics paper.
