Apparently, the moon's gravity, as well as causing the tides, helps stabilize the Earth's rotation around its axis. Without this stabilizing force, the Earth would wobble, or even flip over!

The consequences of this would be highly unstable seasons with unpredictable extremes of hot or cold, far worse than anything we are experiencing now with global warming.

Some have said that if the moon never existed, life may not have been able to evolve on this planet at all.
