Bigger Tides

The ocean tides result from the moon's gravitational force. Had there been two moons, the tide on Earth would be eight times higher than that caused by our current moon.

Increased Moonlight And Eclipses

Twin moons would create a nighttime landscape five times brighter than what we currently experience, enough to read a book without additional light. Additionally, a second moon would increase the occurrence of eclipses.

Change In Lunar Cycles

The moon takes nearly 29.5 days to complete a full lunar cycle. However, if Earth had a second moon, it would go through the same phases but complete its cycle in just 10 days.

More Shooting Stars

A second moon would eject volcanic debris into space, forming a debris field around Earth or entering our atmosphere. This would result in more meteor showers than we experience today.

The Moons Would Collide

If Earth had a second moon, the complex gravitational forces would result in a rapid drifting of the closer moon than the farther one, eventually causing a catastrophic collision.
