Default Blow Up The Moon!

HVAC Be intersting to figure out how much moon's gravity adds to
Earth's surface heat. Bert

The calculations become to chaotic to figure.

Overall, not much.

Like, um...zero?

Calculate the energy in the tides (not zero), but indeed not much
on a global scale.

Night Never zero Moon moves the oceans. That has to take great
energy,and all energy ends up as heat. Bert

Absolutely correct, and 2e20 N/s only amounts to 55.5e12 kwhr if all
that tidal force that's continually in motion were converted to heat.

That Selene/moon actually moves and morphs the entire physical planet,
including its crust and its highly fluid innards.

The question was about surface heat, not how or if the moon adds
energy to the earth.

Adding energy to Earth's fluid core, semi-solid crust and oceans can't
but help transfer that tidal influx of Newtonian force, as per heating
the surface and atmosphere.

No. Not zero. Not if you add the tectonic heating.
