[Slow Commentary] The Impact the Moon Will Have on Earth in the Next Decade

I'm Reimu, and I'm Marisa. Look, Marisa. The moon looks big today. It's kind of mystical. Yeah, it is. But did you know there's a great power lurking behind this moon? A great power? The moon isn't just shining quietly. It influences the Earth at certain, predictable times in its cycle. Huh? Is that a bad influence? The natural phenomena caused by the moon overlap with climate change and could shake people's lives. We've reached a point where we must face the truth of that quietly approaching rhythm. What is that? Isn't that a big deal? What should we do? Well then, this time, let's delve into the effects the moon will have on Earth in the future. Let's take it easy today.

The ebb and flow of the tides is a prime example of this. Seawater is pulled by the moon's gravity, changing the coastline scenery moment by moment. Such rhythms have been consistent and valued as a stable natural cycle. However, the moon's movement has another face. What kind of face is that? It's the lunar nodal cycle, which occurs in a long period of 18.6 years. The lunar nodal cycle. This phenomenon is caused by the slight tilt of the moon's orbit. The moon has an inclination of about five degrees relative to the Earth's equatorial plane, and
