It needs a moon to have tides.

How fast does it rotate on its axis?

What is the angle of its axis?

I bet they're really strong there.

Tides are something with which I have a fair familiarity. I seem to remember that there is a way that moons can be detected on faraway planets like this one, though it’s not mentioned in the article.
