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 first human-made object to reach the surface of the Moon was the Soviet Union 's Luna 2 mission, on 13 September 1959. The United States' Apollo 11 was the first manned mission to land on the Moon, on 20 July 1969.
