Enceladus’s Tidal Heating: A Simple Approach
Saturn’s moon Enceladus has a global ocean that is covered by an ice shell. The moon’s eccentric orbit forces the shell to librate, which distorts the shell and thereby generates heat. The resulting tidal heating prevents the ocean from freezing, and likely drives the moon into a limit cycle, as sho...
