If the Moon Looked 25X Bigger

If the Moon looked about 25 times wider in our sky, it would be only around 21,500 km from Earth’s center — just outside its fluid Roche limit of about 18,400 km.

At that distance, the Moon’s tidal pull would become roughly 5,700 times stronger than today. Oceans could rise to kilometer-scale tides, Earth’s crust could flex violently, and the Moon would be dangerously close to the point where Earth’s gravity could start tearing it apart.
