Tidal locking occurs when tidal friction slows a body's rotation until its rotation period equals its orbital period.

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that tidal locking occurs when tidal friction slows a body's rotation until its rotation period equals its orbital period?

Yes. Reference sources state that tidal locking occurs when tidal friction slows a body's rotation until its rotation period matches its orbital period, as with the Earth-Moon system and Pluto-Charon. Two items give the full synchronous-rotation condition; two others confirm tidal friction slows rotation without stating the equality.
