The rotation axes of the Earth and the Moon are shown to become coplanar with each other when the orbiting Moon has an ecliptic longitude of = 90掳 or = 270掳. The famous Cassini's laws describing the motion of the Moon are supplemented by the rule for coplanarity when proper rotations ...

Scientists think both Uranus' and Venus' original rotations might have been "stopped" by one large impact, several smaller impacts, or a disruption in their rotations by a large gravitational force. In Venus' case, that might have been the sun's gravitational force on its thick atmosphere; ...

But once the ball gets rolling (so to speak) you find yourself with a solar system full of big rocks onslightlydifferent orbits slamming into each other, and changing each others rotations. For example, the Earth’s moon was (most likely) created by a stupendous collision with something Mars...
The most widely accepted theory of the Moon's origin, the giant-impact hypothesis, states that it formed from the collision of a Mars-size protoplanet calledTheiawith the early Earth. This hypothesis explains (among other things) the Moon's relative lack of iron and volatile elements and the...
Earth orientation refers to the set of rotations, known as Earth orientation parameters (EOP), that account for precession/nutation, Earth rotation, and polar motion. These parameters are used to transition from the conventional inertial system to the conventional terrestrial system. ...
