That's important (IMO) from the standpoint of extra-terrestrial
geologics (I should be corrected on that term) since Venus
would have very slight solar tidal input and has no tectonic
formations, unlike it's it's sister planet Earth.
This causes me to doubt the radioactive theory of mantle
convection within the Earth, and instead place the tectonic
effects on the tidal input of the moon and Sun, where Earth
is concerned.
There ya go Sammy.

Mr genius iq,turn a globe through 15 degrees and the distance traveled
at the equator is 1669.8 km,at 60 degrees latitude the value is 836 km
per hour/15 degrees so that all know we are on a rotating sphere with
definite dimensions and rotational speeds.

So,for all the hoopla you turn out to be worse than a flat Earther but
astronomy will do that to you if you do not respect its geometric
language.Maybe somebody else here will explain to you what Isaac was
really doing with absolute/relative space and time in terms of
observations/modelling based on an Ra/Dec framework,they will be the
first generation in centuries to actually be capable of geometrically
distinguishing what is correct and what is not instead of linguistic
dithering which Newton employed to obfuscate his untutored attempt to
hijack astronomy.
