Continuous reorientation of synchronous terrestrial planets due to mantle convection
Many known rocky exoplanets are thought to have been spun down by tidal interactions to a state of synchronous rotation, in which a planet’s period of rotation equals that of its orbit around its host star. Investigations into atmospheric and surface processes occurring on such exoplanets thus commo...
