    I wonder if anyone has ever done the math on how much (in L or kg) water is moved by the moon each day. It’s got to be something absurd.

        That would be its total pull, not just the water.

        We probably can estimate the amount of water that’s at a different level from what a moonless Earth would.

        We could also say that technically all water is moved somewhat, because gravity is like that.
