Summary Of: Tidal locking

tidal locking both speeds up its rotation... The tidal locking effect is also experienced by the larger body A... because the tidal locking occurred over a very short timescale of a thousand years or less... or is the result of some kind of tidal locking with the Earth is unknown... The tidal locking is almost certainly mutual... during the tidal locking phase the orbital radius...
