Reply to comment by PM_ME_A_FUTURE in Are Two Tidally Locked Earth in One Solar System Possible? by Thirdy-DOg
Huh maybe, gota stop commenting without my glasses. Tidal locking between a pair of co-orbiting astronomical bodies occurs when one of the objects reaches a state where there is no longer any net change in its rotation rate over the course of a complete orbit. I'm probably wrong as idk wtf I thought tidal lock ment.

I mean planets can definitely be tidally locked to a star, that's probably what you were thinking of. We have one (or two?) Of those in our solar system
