Suggest a hypothesis to explain the reverse rotation of Venus
September 22, 2020 | Education
| The slowing down of Venus’s rotation could have occurred if we assume the existence of a massive satellite in its past, located in an orbit above the stationary one. In some hypotheses, it is believed that such a satellite could be Mercury. To spin the planet in the opposite direction, the satellite had to be in an orbit below the stationary one for some time.
