Could moons leaving their planets be what ends life, like mars?

There are solar tides, which are still noticeable.

Someone else replied that they are 12% of the moon’s tides so this probably isn’t enough for tidal evolutionary zones

We'd have 12% the normal tide [suns contribution]

Not just a moon, but a moon that's relatively *huge* compared to its parent planet's size.

the moon won't move far enough away for tides to disappear completely, not to mention that the sun exerts tidal effects as well
