These 3 planets, are pretty near of his star. Probability will have the same face looking at the star thanks to tidal lock. So should be Cat Eye planets, not ?

Plus on of the planets looks that have a visible elliptical path, that must make a very strong seasons, not ?
- CWuestefeld 13y agoProbability will have the same face looking at the star thanks to tidal lock. I realize that the earth/luna system is tidal locked, so we always see the same face. But why is this true of this system, but not the earth/sol system? Why would you expect tidal lock in the cases of these three planets with their sun?
- Zardoz84 13y ago> Why would you expect tidal lock in the cases of these three planets with their sun? Mercury have a nearly tidal lock (A Mercury day takes two Mercury years!). This planets are more near to his star that Mercury, so the tidal forces are more stronger. Give time and these planets will be tidal locked to his star (and they had at least a billon years). The question is if They are now locked.
