Woozy , to Ask Science in How is the moon tidally locked?

The moon rotates about once every 28ish days, the same as it’s orbit. That’s what being tidally locked means.

Woozy , to Ask Science in How is the moon tidally locked?

There is such a huge difference in the masses of the earth and moon that although the moon is slowing the rotation of the earth, the earth’s rotation is also speeding up the moon’s orbit. The faster orbit is causing the moon to move farther away from the earth.
