that was my thought if similarly formed systems behaved similarly in their rotationBodies in the solar system tend to rotate about an axis parallel to the sun’s axis, and in the same direction. Neptune is a big exception, and there is much theorizing as to why.
Of course, the general phenomenon is taken to be a result of the formation of the solar system from a rotating disk.
I don’t believe other nearby stellar systems are thought to share the rotational orientation of the Solar system. That’s an interesting question though.
that was my thought if similarly formed systems behaved similarly in their rotationI think you mean Uranus is the exception — its axis of rotation is nearly in the ecliptic, while its system of moons is pretty much normal. Neptune’s basically normal but has a wild group of moons.
