Moons aren't just about looking cool in the sky. Sometimes they're just, you know, there. They're natural satellites that got caught in a planet's gravitational force, and so they're kept in its orbit forever. But sometimes they're detrimental to a planet! Like ours - I mean, the Earth's moon? If we didn't have that, we wouldn't have our stabilizing force anymore. If the Earth tilted just one degree more to any side, then the seasons we have would be drastically, even catastrophically different. The planet would spin much faster too, so the days would be a lot shorter, and the winds would be so much stronger than they are now. If any life existed after that, they'd be completely different from what we have now!
