The moons gravitational force on the earth helps to stabilize its orbit, giving it a fairly stable 22.7 degree tilt, as opposed to planets like Uranus that have flipped completely onto their sides. It also causes tides and helps absorb meteors that would have hit the earth, this is the reason that the moon is so scarred with pockmarks and the earth is relatively free of blemishes
