Earth-moon relationship

The moon gently pulls the earth with its gentle gravity (about 1.98x 1020 Newton), which directly promotes the development of life from the ocean to the land. The area of the earth directly facing or facing away from the moon is pulled up by this force. If this is an ocean, tides will form.

Every time the earth rotates, there are two tides. The moon tide brings seawater rich in organic matter to the land edge. At the junction of land and sea, some aerobic organisms stubbornly survived and became the earliest terrestrial organisms.

The earth and the moon revolve around each other, and the two celestial bodies revolve around the center of gravity under the surface 1600 km. The birth of the moon has added many new things to the earth.

Before the birth of the moon, the temperature difference between day and night of the earth was large, and the temperature was between the boiling point and freezing point of water, which was not suitable for human habitation. However, due to its special influence, the attraction of the moon to the earth's seawater slows down the speed of the earth's rotation and revolution, makes the earth's rotation and period of revolution more reasonable, brings us precious four seasons and reduces the temperature difference, thus making it suitable for human habitation.
