Objects have a tendancy to syncronize their rotations. Additionally, what I understand to be, the leading theory on how the moon was made is that it was blown off the earth, in which case conservation of angular momentum should make it start not rotating relative to earth.
- hnriot 13y ago"Should make it start not rotating" - what does that sentence even mean?
- gizmo686 13y agoSorry, that should read "not start rotating". Essential its Newton's first law, unless there is a force that would make the moon rotate relative to earth, the moon will not do so.
