So-called moonshine is simply light reflected or re-emitted from the moon and this radiation serves to heat the earth slightly. This also varies with the phases of the moon during the month. This extra radiation is just 10**-5 that of the direct solar energy so this also gives a roughly 0.01-0.02 degree effect. 3) Stabilising the Earthâs axis. It seems likely that without the moonâs stabilising gyroscopic effect the earthâs axis would be more chaotic.
The moon has no atmosphere and thus the gravity is very weak compared to Earth. The moon cannot keep gases that make up air. Also, there is no wind on the moon and the temperature varies dramatically during the course of a day from 100 degrees Celsius in the afternoon to -175 degrees Celsius at night.
