  High Obliquity, High Angular Momentum Earth as Moon?s Origin Revisited by Advanced Kinematic Model of Earth-Moon System
  Author(s): Bijay Kumar Sharma*
  
  Muteja Cuk and his colleagues in 2016 proposed a tidal evolutionary model for the birth of our Moon born from lunar accretion of impact generated terrestrial debris in the equatorial plane of high obliquity, high angular momentum Earth. This paper examines their findings critically in the light of Advanced Kinematic Model (AKM) which includes Earth’s obliquity ( φ), Moon’s orbital plane inclination ( α), Moon’s obliquity (β ) and lunar’s orbit eccentricity (e). For the real Earth-Moon (E-M) system, the history of evolution of φ, α, β, e and (Length Of Month)/ (Length Of Day) or LOM/LOD is traced from 45 RE to 60.33RE where RE is Earth Radius. It is shown that AKM’s valid range of application is from 45RE to 60.33RE. The evolution of α,β,.. View More»
