What are some examples to show how tides can alter the rotation and revolution of celestial bodies?
Most of the large moons in our solar system rotate so that they always show the same side to the planet. This is caused by "tidal forces". The tides have slowed the moons' rotations down until their rotation periods equal their orbital periods. The moons also slow down the planets; our planet is rotating slower and slower. Once again, this affects the rotation. However, since angular momentum MUST be conserved, the Moon also gets farther and farther from our planet, thus affecting its revolution around Earth.
