UpdateThe moon also provides up with some light at night-time because the sun reflects off the moon. If there was no moon then it would be very difficult to see at night without the assistance of fire or electricity. AnswerThe moon plays a very important role to life on Earth as we know it. Due to it's size, it keeps the Earth stable and does not tumble. Mercury, Venus, and Mars tumble because Mercury & Venus have no moon, and Mars' two moons are not large enough to affect it. The Moon also controls the tides of our oceans. We have two high and low tides each day. The Moon can also give us a show as it's proportional in size to the Sun and gives us Solar Eclipses. It also can provide Lunar eclipses.

Tides plays a large part in driving oceanic streams and weather patterns. Thanks to the moon, we have a large pump aerating the oceans and thanks to this constant churning we have a much greater chance of surviving climate changes.
