Imagine Earth has a second moon, like having two friends in the sky. You’d see them both, sometimes close together and sometimes far apart, just like how the sun and moon work now. This second moon would change tides because it would pull on the oceans too. It could also help keep our planet from spinning too fast or too slow over time, kind of like a dance between Earth and its two moons.
Examples
- Imagine walking on the beach with both the sun and moon in the sky at the same time, that’s what it would feel like having two moons.
