Scientific paper

The method of estimation of the limits, containing the equator inclination of a celestial body, had been developed. In this method it is necessary to know the orbital elements and the mass of a celestial body. Another condition is that the axial rotation of a body should be in the resonance with its orbital motion. It has been found that the equator inclinations should have the values between 1.7 and 2.6 deg for Mercury and between 1.0 and 1.8 deg for the moon. It also has been found that largest harmonics in Mercury's physical libration are the harmonics sin(phi - 3g), cos(phi - 3g), sin g and sin 2omega.
