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...

responsible for the tides and related phenomena, including solid-earth tides, tidal locking, breaking apart of celestial bodies and formation of ring systems within...

number of considerations: Both the activity of Proxima Centauri and tidal locking would hinder the establishment of these conditions. Unlike XUV radiation...

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...

slowdown of the primary's rotation. The process eventually leads to tidal locking, usually of the smaller body first, and later the larger body (e.g....

small orbital inclination and eccentricity) in the Solar System are tidally locked to their respective primaries, meaning that the same side of the natural...

orbit (tidal circularization) and the rotational periods of the two bodies adjust towards matching the orbital period (tidal locking). Sustained tidal heating...

Moon's tidal locking, the effect of libration makes about 59% of the Moon's surface visible from Earth over the course of one month. The tidally locked synchronous...

specific useful purposes has been the subject of patents. Some bodies are tidally locked with other bodies, meaning that one side of the celestial body is permanently...

An eyeball planet is a hypothetical type of tidally locked planet, for which tidal locking induces spatial features (for example in the geography or composition...

stabilize Earth's axis, causes tides and gradually slows Earth's rotation. Tidal locking has made the Moon always face Earth with the same side. Earth, like...

to be habitable, due to their low stellar flux, high probability of tidal locking, likely lack of magnetospheres and atmospheres, and the high stellar...

conditions that combat tidal locking. On the other hand, the planet's eccentricity could be a factor working against tidal locking in and of itself; the...

maria that make up the man, is always facing Earth. This is due to a tidal locking or synchronous orbit. Thought to have occurred because of the gravitational...

bodies are tidally locked to each other. The dwarf planet systems Pluto–Charon and Eris–Dysnomia are the only known examples of mutual tidal locking in the...

lunar day is therefore the time of a full lunar day-night cycle. Due to tidal locking, this equals the time that the Moon takes to complete one synodic orbit...

near the star; thus, 85% of the exoplanets detected are inside the tidal locking zone. In several cases, multiple planets have been observed around a...

over a location on Earth's surface at the same mean solar time. Due to tidal locking with Earth, the Moon's synodic day (the lunar day or synodic rotation...

proponents argue life cannot arise outside Sun-like systems, due to tidal locking and ionizing radiation outside the F7–K1 range. However, some exobiologists...
