    Tidal locking is when a body in space orbits another body in a way that the body’s year and day are equal in length. This means that the body spins around its own axis once for each time it orbits around another, specific body in space. By having equal years and days, this orbiting body shows the same side of its face to those looking at it from the other body, or the body that being rotated around. example is our moon and Earth from Earth we always see the same face of moon.
