Why don't Mercury and Venus have moons?
Mercury is just too close to the sun, and that is all there is to it. Any Moon that Mercury might have had or tried to capture would be in an unstable orbit because the sun would tug at it. The Moon will eventually either spiral away and orbit the sun or would get dislodged from a stable orbit around Mercury and crash into the planet.Venus was slammed early on and gained a moon from the resulting debris. The satellite slowly spiraled away from the planet, due to tidal interactions, much the way our Moon is still slowly creeping away from Earth.However, after only about 10 million years Venus suffered another tremendous blow, according to the models. The second impact was opposite from the first in that it ‘reversed the planet’s spin,’ says Alemi. Venus’s new direction of rotation caused the body of the planet to absorb the moon’s orbital energy via tides, rather than adding to the moon’s orbital energy as before. So the moon spiraled inward until it collided and merged with Venus in a fatal encounter.
Will Leo Woman Come Back Around Eventually?
I don't want to make this a long drawn out story. Basically, I'm trying to understand this Leo. We have bumped heads several times recently and she either ignores me or blows up at me when she's angry and tells me pretty mean things. She has always come back around in the past if I persisted with apology, but this time seems different. This time she claims to be done for good and has been mad longer. I wasn't giving her as much space to cool off as I probably could have bc when someone is angry with me my first instinct is to try to talk to calm them down. I'm incapable of staying mad for more than a day! So, I'd text her here and there with no response. If I persisted this time she'd blow up more. I don't know her rising but she is Leo Sun, Leo Moon, Scorpio Mars, Leo Venus. I am Aquarius Sun, Leo Rising, Aries Moon, Libra Mars, and Capricorn Venus. Despite these blowouts, we get along so great! I've tried gifts, apologies, rationalizing...she is just really mad as I hurt her feelings and pride when I got upset and told her I was done for good. But I apologized for it and now she is acting like she doesn't care about me anymore. Will she come around if I leave her alone for a week or two? Or is she done with me for good? For those who might suggest going all out with praise and attention, that is the opposite of what she wants from me right now. Been there and done that and failed miserably this time...I just want to know if she'll eventually come around if I leave her alone? The last thing I text her was that I was gonna give her some space to breathe and that I won't text or call her. Told her I'd wait for when she felt like calling me and told her I loved her.
An asteroid with an orbit lying entirely inside Earth's?
