Until recently, it was assumed that a thick atmosphere like that of modern Venus was required for the planet to have today's slow rotation rate.

«In the earliest phase of star formation, there are theoretical difficulties in producing such a disk, because magnetic fields can slow down the rotation of collapsing material, preventing such a disk from forming around a very young protostar.

Since the light energy escapes, the production of the energy beam robs energy from the pulsar so the pulsar's rotation slows down (angular momentum does slowly decrease).

Rotational disruption is the expected final state of what is called the YORP effect — a slow evolution of the rotation rate due to asymmetric emission of heat.

The slow rotation rate is probably attributable to the braking action of magnetic fields that thread through the core and its envelope.

At the first close approach, instruments detected a magnetic field, to the great surprise of planetary geologists — Mercury's rotation was expected to be much too slow to generate a significant dynamo effect.

This method uses measurements of the rotation rate of the neutron star and the tiny amount by which that rotation slows over time to arrive at an estimate called the pulsar's «characteristic age.»

We suggest that strong differential rotation at the base of the convective envelope is responsible for enhanced lithium depletion in slow rotators.

The terrestrial planets are composed primarily of rock and metal and have relatively high densities, slow rotation, solid surfaces, no rings and few satellites.

We show that slow rotators develop a high degree of differential rotation between the radiative core and the convective envelope, while fast rotators evolve with little core - envelope decoupling.

While the Sun does not rotate as a solid body (the rotational period is 25 days at the equator and about 35 days at the poles), it takes approximately 28 days to complete one full rotation; the centrifugal effect of this slow rotation is 18 million times weaker than the surface gravity at the Sun's equator.

Other recent research has also tied the loss of polar ice to subtle changes in the Earth's rotation, suggesting that these losses can slow the planet's spin, in addition to shifting the location of the pole itself.
