Imagine one night you look out your window and the moon is gone! How would the Earth change?

Without the moon, our oceans would have weaker tides because the moon’s gravity pulls ocean water. Many sea animals that depend on tides could struggle to survive.

But that’s not all! The moon helps keep Earth’s tilt stable. Without the moon, Earth’s tilt could change more over time, affecting the seasons and climate.

Our nights would also become much darker, making it harder for animals that rely on moonlight to find food or travel. The moon may look small in the sky, but it plays a big role in life on Earth!
