AI overview
Tidal locking occurs when a moon or planet rotates at exactly the same speed it orbits around another object, causing the same side to always face that object. This matters because it affects the climate and conditions on the locked side—for example, one side of the Moon always faces Earth, while the other side never sees our planet.
