    Superscience Season 7 Episode 2 - Earth Without The Moon
    9.0/10(17 votes)

    #1 - Earth Without The Moon

    S7:E2

    Each year, the moon moves an inch and one half farther away from Earth and is gaining momentum. The gravity it exerts on our planet acts as a stabilization mechinism, allowing for a consistent range of temperatures, seasons and days. If the moon moves just ten percent farther, it will cause unbelievable disaster for our planet, as Earth tips up to 90 degrees on its axis.
