For eight synchronously orbiting satellites in the solar system for which the triaxiality parameters and satellite-centric gravitation constant are available, secular Love numbers and secular tidal numbers are computed. The satellites examined are Phobos, Deimos, Amalthea, Io, Mimas, Enceladus, Miranda, and Ariel. With the exception of Deimos, the secular Love and tidal numbers are generally close to unity. The results support the hypothesis that synchronously orbiting satellites originated by accretion in orbits.
