Original Note:
The moon has a mean diameter of roughly 3,475KM, and is roughly 384,000km away. If the moon was local as implied, for example 420km away, we would experience global floods every 90 minutes, due to the moons influence on tides. https://slate.com/technology/2014/05/close-encounter-what-if-the-moon-orbited-much-closer-to-earth.html https://www.space.com/18135-how-big-is-the-moon.html
