Abstract
The moon, Earth's most constant companion, it is a satellite of our planet. Being the closest cosmic body to Earth, the moon has given rise to numerous myths worldwide throughout the years. The lunar phases are a result of the moon orbiting Earth while Earth orbit the sun. Everything is in motion. Essentially, what we observe from Earth is different parts of the moon being illuminated by the sun as the moon follows its orbit. The relationship between Earth and the Moon is characterized by mutual gravitational attraction and interdependence. The moon significantly influences various aspects of Earth's environment and behavior. While human biology has often been disregarded as a myth, recent studies have suggested a connection between lunar phases and human behavior. Some researchers propose that humans may be responding to subtle changes in Earth's magnetic field that concur with the moon's phases. Today, the moon continues to hold many fascinating mysteries for scientists to investigate. This article aims to uncover the facts and myths surrounding the impact of Lunar phases on humans on Earth.
