Abstract

The empirical laws describing the rotation of the moon are generalized and discussed. \textit{G. Colombo}'s results [Cassini's second and third law, Astron. J. 71, 891-896 (1966)] for an axially symmetric planet with an arbitrary spin angular velocity are used. It is shown that the derivative of the critical areas are simple analytical functions of the parameters of the problem.
