TIDAL HEALING
A celestial body that orbits a star relies on its parent for warmth. This warmth is caused by a friction from the mother sun's invisible energy of gravitational force, heating the child planet from within. In space, this is referred to as tidal heating, but the relationship is paralleled in all forms of life, from the chemistry of the cosmos to the magnetism of us mortals.
Without this relationship, a child planet can become a planemo, ejected from their mothers orbit to wander frozen and alone through the darkness.
When I first read the term, it appeared to say "tidal healing" and I much prefer this mistake; a sense that sometimes even the planets need the glow of another's energy to mend their core beings.
