Locking of the larger body Tidal locking

the tidal locking effect experienced larger body a, @ slower rate because b s gravitational effect weaker due b s smaller mass. example, earth s rotation gradually being slowed moon, amount becomes noticeable on geological time revealed in fossil record. current estimations (together tidal influence of sun) has helped lengthen earth day 6 hours current 24 hours. currently, atomic clocks show earth s day lengthens 15 microseconds every year. given enough time, create mutual tidal locking between earth , moon, length of day has increased , length of lunar month has shortened until 2 same. however, earth not expected become tidally locked moon before sun becomes red giant , engulfs earth , moon. for bodies of similar size effect may of comparable size both, , both may become tidally locked each other on shorter timescale. example dwarf planet pluto , satellite charon. have reached state charon visible 1 hemisphere of pluto , vice versa. pluto same age planets in solar system.

Orbital changes Tidal locking

if rotational frequency larger orbital frequency, small torque counteracting rotation arises, locking frequencies (situation depicted in green) the angular momentum of whole a–b system conserved in process, when b slows down , loses rotational angular momentum, orbital angular momentum boosted similar amount (there smaller effects on s rotation). results in raising of b s orbit in tandem rotational slowdown. other case b starts off rotating slowly, tidal locking both speeds rotation, , lowers orbit.
