Tidal locking between a pair of co-orbiting astronomical bodies occurs when one of the objects reaches a state where there is no longer any net change...

dwarfs are likely to be tidally locked to their primary: that is, their days are as long as their orbits. While tidal locking may adversely affect planets...

resulting from this tidal locking may play a major role in the planet's geology. Models proposed by scientists predict that tidal heating could yield...
