What is tidal locking?

Answers

Answered by Bella777

Explanation:

Astronomers call this tidal locking, and happens because of the gravitational interaction between worlds. As you're aware, the moon is pulling at the Earth, causing the tides. In fact, the pull of the moon is so strong that the ground itself rises up 30 cm, about a foot, as it passes..

Answered by vaishnavi7018

Tidal locking is the phenomenon by which a body has the same rotational period as its orbital period around a partner. So, the Moon is tidally locked to the Earth because it rotates in exactly the same time as it takes to orbit the Earth. That is why we only see one side of the Moon.
