Question

How has tidal locking affected our moon?

a. The rotational period matches the orbital period

b. it rotates perfectly allowing us to see all sides

c. the moon is locked in its orbit and cannot get any closer or further from us

d. the moon never rises or sets in the sky​

Answer 1

Answer: A. The rotational period matches the orbital period.

Explanation: Tidal locking results in the moon rotating about its axis in the same time it takes to orbit Earth. So the moon is tidally locked in to the Earth ,because  it takes the exact same amount of time as it takes to orbit the Earth Which is why we only see one side of the moon.
