How does the moon affect the earth?

The Moon is closest to all other cosmic bodies located to our planet and, due to its mass and gravity, has a huge impact on the Earth’s surface. Phenomena such as ebb and flow are caused precisely because of our natural satellite. Characteristically, lunar gravity affects the seas and oceans more than the lakes and rivers that are in the continents. Also, during times of overactiveness, the Moon can affect the well-being of people and animals.
