The Tides Would Be Gone
The moon pulls on Earth's oceans, creating tides. Without the moon, we wouldn’t have high and low tides anymore, the ocean might just be a big lake that doesn’t move much.
Life Might Be Different
Scientists think the moon helped make life possible by giving Earth more stable weather patterns. If there was no moon, maybe animals would look different, or even humans wouldn't exist at all!
Examples
- If there was no moon, the ocean would just flow gently instead of creating high tides every day.
- Maybe dinosaurs wouldn’t have walked on Earth if the moon had never been there to help shape our planet.
