The Moon's effect on the Earth's rotational axis has a direct effect on our climate. Without it, the world may not have been suitable for life as we know it.

Why would you film a documentary about the moon if the moon didn't exist? It's not arguable, it's definite.

@gledalac1979 do you know how far away it is? if earths gravity was so strong, youd think it pull the moon into earth. and yet, the moon is moving away from us at a rate (not sure if its linear) of 3.8mm per year.
are you familiar with the ridiculous "accretion theory" also known as "thia"?
our scientist have fucked it up yet again. see copernicus.

not weird considering the moon is a rogue piece of earth made during a planetary collision early in the solar system .

@gledalac1979 you dont actually believe the moon effects earths seasons do you?

@VicTheMouth3612 are you using a linear equation? if so, youd be wrong, for it will accelerate faster the further it moves away. see newtons laws.

@JasonZiggy678 i wouldnt say "pulling", more like moving away. scientist claim its at a rate of 3.8mm per year.
the apparently know this because when man landed on teh moon (cough cough), they placed a reflector on its surface. they shoot a laser at it and measure the time it takes for the return signal.

isnt the moon slowly pulling away from earth?
