Why Some Planets Spin Faster - Our solar system is full of amazing worlds, each with its own unique characteristics. One such mystery is the incredible difference in how fast planets spin. In this video, we're going to delve into the fascinating science behind a planet's rotation. We'll explore the forces at play, the birth of planets, and how they ended up with such diverse spinning speeds. | The Brain Maze

The Moon’s rotation is perfectly locked to its orbit…a 1:1 spin-orbit coupling. That shouldn’t happen if the Moon were evenly distributed. This anomaly suggests extreme rigidity inside the lunar crust. Something beneath the surface is holding it in place. | The Randall Carlson
