Usually‚ at any given time only the satellite is tidally locked around the larger body‚ but if the difference in mass between the two bodies and their physical separation is small‚ each may be tidally locked to the other‚ as is the case between Pluto and Charon. This effect is employed to stabilize some artificial satellites. Contents [hide] 1 Mechanism 1.1 Tidal bulges 1.2 Bulge dragging 1.3 Resulting torque 1.4 Orbital
