plz tell me what u think
We no the moon influences the tides and is correlated with womens menstual cycles and that the lunar months were used to measure time. Some thought crops grew better in the "face of the moon", many cultures attribute supernatural powers to the moon hence werewolves but it is more helpful than u think.
The moons pull stabilises the axial tilt of the earth- meaning the earth doesnt wobble more wildy. This tilt creates seasons and the range of temperature isnt as big as if it wasn on a tilt - the oceans wud be frozen and equatorial regions wud be too hot to sustain life.
Apparently the tides have caused a vital role in evolution. The first organisms to come out of the oceans and live on land were probably mollusc like creatues stranded in rock pools at low tide.
It is thought the moon was made for us.

They are? Then what happened to the mass and material of the object that collided with the earth? Did it just disappear after impact and just the chunk of the Earth drifted off into space?
I'm sticking with the idea that smaller amounts of material were already in orbit within the planetary nebula and clumped together over time.
