  21. Conclusions • Hot-Jupiters are not likely to present rotation spin-orbit resonances neither high obliquity precession spin-orbit resonances. • Super-Earths tidally evolved may present rotation spin-orbit resonances, in particular when found in eccentric orbits (as Mercury). The rotation may also be chaotic as Hyperion. • Super-Earths may also present high obliquities (including retrograde configurations as Venus), or even chaotic spin orientation like Mars.
