1) Which of the four fundamental forces results in tidally coupled celestial objects?
Gravitational force results in tidally coupled celestial objects.

2) As viewed from Earth, how many times does the Moon rotate during one orbit? As viewed from outside the Earth-Moon system, how many times does the Moon rotate in one orbit? How do you know? Viewing from Earth, one would not see any rotation of the Moon at all, because the Moon is tidally coupled to Earth and a moon. In turn, the rotation is locked to the planet. If viewed from outside the Earth-moon system, one would note the moon rotates once each orbit.

3) If the Moon is tidally coupled to Earth, is Earth tidally coupled to the Moon? How do you know? The moon’s rotation is fixed with earth, but from a moon’s surface perspective, it is noted that earth rotates comparatively with the moon. Earth is not tidally coupled with natural satellite, as the moon.

Highlands, being craters, have more numbers of impacts per year. This means they are older than others, assuming all have equal impacts. Also, in regards to the radio-activity produced by Carbon dating the relative age of highlands and maria it is determined to have high accuracy.
5) From looking at images of the Moon’s near side, how can you tell that Copernicus is a young crater? Craters discharge rays and these rays appear lighter over time from sun light exposure and micro meteor breaking them up. The rays coming from Copernicus are very bright, representing a young
