I'm building a fantasy world like Earth but it has two moons adjacent to each other in a co-orbital configuration and need help
I am looking for help on the following:
Will that have any affect on the length of days and nights?
Would having two moons create a higher body of water on the planet due to increased tides? (i.e. the Earth is 71% and now with two moons it's 82% water or something like that)
Would there be any affect on the stable axial tilt?
Would eclipses happen more frequently?
Are there any gravity considerations I should be aware of (I know, probably stupid question among many)?
Is there anything else I should take into consideration with having two moons?
Thanks in advance for any help provided.
Update: Here's a bit more detailed information which I hope will help. Using a planet exactly like Earth, with two moons both the size size as our moon, and in the same orbit so that both are present at night. I'm not sure the exact separation distance, but they would be far enough apart not to be in each others gravitational pull if possible.
