Interesting.
But what if we had no moon, and we didn’t spin - from the start. We just always had the same side facing the sun. That would have nothing to do with moons or tides. That’s why I was surprised to hear “tidal” in the comment. But. Googled and that’s what they call it.
Even stranger when there’s no water on the planet.

Why is it called tidally locked?

Nteresting. Even if we had water but no moon? I’m imaging that water adding Damone drag as we rotate. thanks for the Excellent answer!
