Without the Moon, Earth would not just lose its tides. It would lose its mind. 🌕

The Moon holds Earth's axial tilt steady at twenty-three and a half degrees. Without it, the tilt would wander chaotically between a frozen world and a baked one with no pattern. The tides would shrink to almost nothing. The tidal zones where life first crawled from ocean onto land would not exist. Complex life on land may never have begun. Earth would also spin faster. Days would be eight hours long. Winds would reach hundreds of kilometres per hour. The Moon stabilises the climate, the seasons, and the conditions that allowed life to evolve on land. Remove it, and Earth becomes a planet that never had a chance. That is what the Moon actually does.

Transcript
00:00Without the Moon, Earth would not just lose its tides, it would lose its mind.
00:05The Moon holds Earth's axial tilt, steady at 23.5 degrees.
00:10That tilt is what gives us stable seasons.
00:13Without the Moon, the tilt would wander chaotically,
00:17swinging between a frozen world and a baked one with no pattern.
00:20The tides would shrink to almost nothing.
00:23The vast tidal zones where life first crawled from ocean onto land would not exist.
00:28Complex life on land may never have begun.
00:32Earth would also spin faster.
00:35Days would be eight hours long.
00:37Winds would reach hundreds of kilometers per hour.
00:41The Moon stabilizes the climate, the seasons, and the conditions that allowed life to evolve on land.
00:48Remove it, and Earth becomes a planet that never had a chance.
00:54That is what the Moon actually does.
00:58What do you think?
