High School Tidally Locked Planets: How Close to the Star?

Click For Summary
Tidal locking of a planet to its parent star is influenced by several factors beyond mere proximity, including the sizes of the celestial bodies and their initial rotational speeds. The process of becoming tidally locked takes time, making it complex to determine a specific distance for tidal locking. There is no universal answer applicable to all scenarios due to these varying factors. Understanding the dynamics of tidal locking requires considering both gravitational interactions and the physical characteristics of the involved bodies. Overall, the relationship between a planet's distance from its star and tidal locking is not straightforward.

How close must a planet be to its parent star in order for it to be tidally locked?
 
Astronomy news on Phys.org
Tidal locking isn't just determined by position. It takes time for bodies to become locked and it is highly dependant upon the size of the bodies and initial rotations. So I don't think that there is a good general answer to this.
 
Thanks for the answer and the link, it was very helpful.

Thread 'Looking for info about the Sombrero Galaxy'

Hi, I saw someone with an avatar on a different forum that turns out to be the sombrero galaxy. AI says, too distant to know much about, aside from billions of starts, potentially tons of planets, and a supermassive black hole in the center. I find that setup fascinating, despite knowing close to nothing about the universe. So I ask: could anyone point me in the direction of, or provide information about this galaxy? I do not trust AI beyond general information, and I like to go pretty...
