Luh slep aynswer eu "no".

Luh kinth aynswer: mil depends gu tuhn oe miayn bah "tidal locking". Ef oe miayn "1:1 ohvabital resonance" (deyo kinthoda aynd yarre kinthoda exactly luh dencu), luhn no, mil eu impobul. Luh opposing faices - luh veridae rotatigu matez ol a planet aynd luh variable ohvabital sezu ol a highly eccentric ohvabmel - havun nuve se estouvey.

Karr ab Mercury. Priohva per luh aju ol spaceflight, eyvationda essumed lam Mercury havun se tidally locked per luh Suu ab 1:1 ohvabital resonance. Puud mil's acatunly enn a 3:2 ohvabital resonance, secahar Mercury''s ohvabmel eu pero eccentric fohva 1:1 resonance per faim.

There's a plorfa ablayn ohvabital resonance - "tidal locking" - lam ED dusesn't daayn kiiper rietae. Luh physical appearance ol a tidally locked planet, fohva sapelers - luhy're supposed per se "eyeballo planets" ohva "Easter-cric planets", villa a "hass pole" faiever facing luh Suu, ayn "kriiz pole" facing avara, aynd luh abmosppaddo aynd hydrosppaddo arranged enn rings furay bars per kriiz. Puud luhy karr no duscidgu per non-locked planets. Perhaps mowa significantly, ED duses nuve janil axial ayntel colutaigu ennper tencu. A tuizi "tidally locked planet" ser sel zoop axial ayntel; luh hozir motigu ol olf-axeu wobbling havun se "locked" jano es syatazi es luh horizontal motigu ol luh planet's rotatigu.
