Would lycanthropes be far worse on planets that had more than one moon?

Maybe they'd dig it. It could be on another planet they ruled and for them it would be the norm.????

i would generally say no its not, as the atmosphere is only between 5 adn 10 miles high, the moon is considerably further away than this.\n\ncant explainy why its like this has something to do with the creation of the solar system the mood being far away and such.

Of the inner, rocky, planets, Mercury and Venus have no moons, Earth has one, and Mars has two tiny little ones, called phobos and deimos (fear and hatred). Our moon is actually named Luna.

Not at all. You are correct the plance you are talking about is called the ecliptic plane.  almost all the planets fall on the ecliptic plane (to within a few degrees anyway, all but pluto but it's not a planet anymore) . You would still have to dodge asteroids, comets and other things by going 90 degrees to the ecliptic but they are fairly rare.

Actually, the moon does have an atmosphere, and EXTEAMLY thin, tiny, very small, negligible atmosphere.\n\nThe chances of getting hit are miniscule, there is virtually no risk.  You can see the moon of covered with impact craters, but remember, these happened over the course of billions of years.  The chances are very slim, you would have to VERY unlucky to be hit.

the moon doesnt have a strong enough graviational field to allow it to retain the necessary atoms/molecules to form an atmosphere

No, because that would that would require chimeric genetics, which doesn't happen on an a world where life comes from evolution!\n\nInterestingly, werewolf mythology doesn't even make this claim, it was invented by Hollywood as being more tragic.  The traditional werewolf of Christian civilization is a creature that has made a deal with the Devil in return for a magic salve or a piece of wolfskin clothing (usually a belt or a cloak).  By using the salve or clothing, the devil worshipper becomes a wolf and kills people for his dark master!  EVIL!\n\nEarlier myths vary from werewolves being heroic shamans using their wolf forms to parlay with spirits for the good of their people, to various forms of monster movie type horrors, but I'm unaware of any myths where a bite transfers a werewolf infection.

I have an even better question:\nWhat does a werewolf do during a lunar eclipse? Does he gradually turn human and then back again?\nWhen in doubt, come up with an even better question.

Tides will become weaker. Other MINOR affects will change our planet, slight changes in the time a season changes. However you should not worry. The moon is thousands of miles away. The moon only gets about 1 inch further every year. 10000 years from now it still will not make a difference. And if the sapce program does what it is claiming to do. This cycle could be slowed down slightly... maybe 7/8 of an inch instead if they really wanted to but that would ba a useless waste of time, money, resources, and brain power. Don't worry the moon wont affect anything for a few million or billion years.

The earth would have more craters than the moon almost, had it not developed an atmosphere.  The atmosphere burns up anything trying to pass through it into a tiny meteorite.\n\nSame reason that mercury is battered with the asteroids.

Neat Question!!!!\n\nHere's your answer:\n\nIf the Moon disappeared then the tides would reduce in strength by about two thirds. There would still be tides, because the Sun causes tides, too (see the Conjunctions Page). \n\nThe Moon keeps the angle between the rotation axis of the Earth and the plane of the orbit of the Earth within a fairly narrow range, so that the strength of the seasons cannot differ too much from its current value. If the Moon disappeared, then the inclination of the rotation axis of the Earth would vary much more over periods of thousands of years and could get much further away from the upright position, with corresponding greater differences between summer and winter, and hence with great influence on the climate, such as Mars has experienced (without any large moon). See http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-bib_query?bibcode=1993Natur.361..615L, http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-bib_query?bibcode=2002A%26A...384..689E and http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0112399 (for http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-bib_query?bibcode=2001EM%26P...85...61B). \n\nI've heard of kinds of animals that synchronize some rhythms of their lives with the phases of the Moon, and the sudden disappearance of the Moon could cause trouble for them. I believe I've heard of some kinds of turtles that come to lay their eggs on the beach at a certain Full Moon, and that the nightlife of deer and similar animals takes the phase of the Moon into account. In any case, fishermen and hunters seem to take the phase of the Moon into account, but perhaps that is because they would like to be able to see something at night. I am not a biologist, fisherman, or hunter, so I do not know the details of this. \n\nIt is highly unlikely that the Moon will just disappear. Only the very close passage of a celestial object of the size of a planet could wrench the Moon from the grip of the Earth's gravity, and such an event could also change the orbit of the Earth itself markedly, so then the disappearance of the Moon might not be the most important thing. Calculations of the future of the orbits of the planets show that such an event will not happen during the coming thousands of millions of years (at least not with one of the other planets of our Solar System as the disturbing object). See http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-bib_query?bibcode=2002MNRAS.336..483I and http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-bib_query?bibcode=1996CeMDA..64..115L.

I'm all about the lycanthropes, baby, but I think people are more fascinated with vampires because werewolves are only werewolves once a month. They can be in the light. Vampires are vampires forevverrr, with prolonged lifespans and a dislike of the sun. Werewolves are still socially (and religiously) accepted people... as long as the full moon's not out.

N0-Venus and Mercury are the only planets that don't, perhaps because being close to the sun reduces the ability to hold onto a moon.

probably not, the moon has no atmosphere. meteor showers can be seen from space however, but i think from the moon would be a little too far away

The tides would f*ck over the coastlines and werewolves would become extinct.  Plus, with my luck, a zillionth of the moon would hit my car.

You see the reflected sunlight- Each planet has a different reflectivity index, termed the albido.  Venus, for example, is covered in light-colored clouds, so it has a high albedo, and reflects a lot of light, making it a very bright planet.  Just for interst, the moon has an extremely low albedo, around the same as black powder- If the moon had an albedo as high as venus, or even better where covered in white powder like snow, moonlight would be bright enough read fine print by and we wouldnt need streetlights on clear nights with a full moon.

They are called moonquakes.  If the moon had an atmosphere it probably would not be able to keep it or hold it at the moon's surface due to little gravity.  (only 1/6 of earth's)
