How would three moons that were equally separated effect the planet?
So I have a fictional world where I have three moons orbiting this planet. I've used this web site to try and figure this out but I wanted to ask this question myself.
My planet (a little bigger then earth) had 3 small moons orbiting it, (they are about the size of Uranus' moon Oberon) and they had a tidal lock to the planet and each moon was equally spaced around the planet in their orbit and they shared a more or less same orbit pattern. Would that be possible? And how would that affect the ocean/land of the planet? So far the planet is a good deal covered with ocean with a ring of continents.
