The Yopp effect will spin asteroids so fast, they will will have so much centrfugal force, to epand, explode outward but:
spin-down:
braking through hot and cold by rotation in sunlight:

"An international research team has revealed that the 'super-rotation' on Venus is maintained near the equator by atmospheric tidal waves formed from solar heating on the planet's dayside and cooling on its nightside"
Hokkaido University. "Atmospheric tidal waves maintain Venus' super-rotation." ScienceDaily. ScienceDaily, 23 April 2020. <www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/04/200423143050.htm>.
Confirming the Yarkovsky effect, so we have tides caused by gravity gradients , and heat accumulation on the evening side, daily heat gradients.The tides on Earth have been described as standing waves in which the planet rotates. the hotter evening in Venus' atmosphere and cooler morning is a similar standing wave.
P.S. a slight additional evening upper atmosphere heating could be attributed to the fact that the evening side of Venus faces into the retrograde orbital motion direction.; Unlike the other planets that have all the goodies arrive in the morning.
