Don't forget the gravitational title forces of the moon and the sun combined that stretch and cool the earth also Generate heat within the planet

Example, take a plastic spoon or something like that and start to slowly bend it – bend it back and forth slowly so it doesn't break and it will slowly start to get soft and as it gets soft  , bend it back faster and faster until it actually gets hot enough to cause a first real 1st° burn in the spot that's been bending the most

If we didn't have the moon, we would've ended up like Mars. Mars does not have any real moons to speak – it has two large asteroids. If Mars had a moon similar to ours, it would've kept the center of the planet Liquid and hot, which would have It's magnetic field and prevented the atmosphere from being blown away by solar winds....

Mars once had a huge ocean and an atmosphere but then lost it… And the only way to lose that is to lose your magnetic field… And the only way to lose that is for the core of the planet to cool

The amount of radioactivity based on the materials in our plan earth are not enough to keep our planet as warm and hot as it has been underneath the crust... Certainly radioactive decay has played a role in keeping the center of our planet warm… But the two main factors are high pressure and density combined with the title forces of the sun and moon. When the sun and moon are in opposition  , The planet is slightly stretched out and is more oval-shaped..when the sun and moon are at 90° angles of the planet that pulls on the planet in a different manner… And when the sun and the moon are on the same side of the planet, that pulls that side of that side of the planet even further towards the sun and the moon

So our planet is constantly being kneaded like bread dough....and if you ever kneaded bread, you know that the act of doing it keeps the dough warm

Plus don't forget all of this tugging and pulling creates a huge amount of friction… And as we all know when you rub your hands together and generate friction – they get warm. The same thing with our planet

Just do an Internet search for "what if the earth had no moon" and you will find many scientific articles that say we would be just like Mars or close to it nowadays. I'm not saying a moon is required for a planet to stay warm, but in our case  , it is the most contributing factor to prevent our core from being cold by now

Example, take a plastic spoon or something like that and start to slowly bend it – bend it back and forth slowly so it doesn't break and it will slowly start to get soft and as it gets soft, bend it back faster and faster until it actually gets hot enough to cause a first real first-degree burn in the spot that's been bending the most.
