The **Moon is in a long-lived 1:1 spin-orbit resonance** with Earth, meaning it rotates once on its axis in the same time that it revolves around Earth, so the same hemisphere faces Earth on average.

Tidal locking is a stable dynamical endpoint in the rotational evolution of a satellite orbiting a primary body, wherein the satellite's axial rotation period matches its orbital revolution period, forcing the satellite to permanently present the same hemisphere to its primary. This synchronization is driven by the gravitational gradient exerted by the primary body, which deforms the satellite into an elongated, prolate spheroid.
