The 31 pages that link to Tidal locking, each with the reason it gives.

• TidesRelated: Tidal dissipation helped synchronize the Moon’s rotation with its orbit around Earth.

• Tidal forceRelated: Repeated tidal torques can remove rotational energy until this state is reached.

• Habitable zoneRelated: Many planets around small stars may be tidally locked, complicating estimates of their climate.

• Galilean moonsRelated: All four moons keep nearly the same hemisphere facing Jupiter.

• IoRelated: Io’s synchronous rotation sets the repeating geometry of its tidal flexing.

• Red dwarfRelated: Close-in planets in a red dwarf’s habitable zone may become tidally locked.

• Natural satelliteRelated: Tidal evolution commonly brings close satellites into synchronous rotation.

• Proxima CentauriRelated: A close-in planet such as Proxima b may be tidally locked.

• Synchronous rotationRelated: It is the usual route by which a body's spin becomes synchronous.

• Tidal accelerationRelated: Dissipation of rotational energy can synchronize a body's spin while its orbit evolves.

• TRAPPIST-1Related: The planets’ close-in orbits make synchronous rotation likely, with major consequences for climate.

• Circular orbitRelated: A stable circular orbit can provide the repeating orbital timescale involved in tidal synchronization.

• CharonRelated: Tidal forces synchronized Charon’s rotation with its orbit around Pluto.

• Proxima Centauri bRelated: Its close orbit makes synchronous rotation plausible, creating distinct day and night hemispheres.

• Moons of JupiterRelated: Most major Jovian moons keep the same hemisphere facing Jupiter.

• Kepler-186fRelated: Its close orbit around a dim star raises questions about rotation and climate, but its spin is unmeasured.

• Far side of the MoonRelated: Lunar tidal locking is the physical reason the far side continually faces away.

• Kepler-442bRelated: The planet’s rotation is not directly established, yet it could strongly affect climate patterns.

• Moon (astronomy)Related: Many moons became tidally locked to their planets through long-term tidal interactions.

• Moons of HaumeaRelated: Tidal evolution can alter moon spins and orbits over the system’s lifetime.

• Moons of PlutoRelated: Pluto and Charon are mutually tidally locked, while the smaller moons rotate unusually rapidly.

• 55 Cancri eRelated: Its close orbit makes synchronous rotation likely, though atmospheric circulation redistributes heat.

• Dermott's lawRelated: It is a separate outcome of tidal evolution, not the period-spacing pattern itself.

• Gliese 581dRelated: Close-orbiting planets around red dwarfs, including proposed Gliese 581d, are often assessed for this state.

• HD 189733 bRelated: The planet’s synchronized rotation creates enduring day and night hemispheres that drive temperature contrasts.
