Sure. But things like the absence of tides would cause shifts in the ecology. Some plants and animals would do better, some worse.

There are more than ocean tides. The continents float on the liquid mantle and rise and fall. The tides stir the core. without the Moon, the crust would thicken and volcanism would decrease. The air would not be replaced by gasses from volcanic vents. This has happened on Mars and Venus which lack significant moons. Would the Earth become Mars-like, Venus-like, or stay in balance? No one knows for sure.

in reality all Celestial bodies spin. it isn't effortless if each person has given a proof why. The Spin of the Earth is on the problem of the orbit of the Earth relative to the solar. The Spin of the Earth defines the size of the Day.hence the day in the international is in basic terms not consistent and always adjustments because the orbital era of the Earth adjustments. perhaps at one time the days and Time of the Earth were shorter contained in the previous.that could want to nicely be one clarification why human beings lived longer. the fashionable astronomy remark shows that the Orbit of the Earth relative to the solar is slowing down. And the attitude of precession of the poles is likewise replacing. on the grounds that not a lot is effortless about why might want to Electrons or Celestial bodies Spin,no correct answer might want to easily accept to describe why the Earth might want to provide up spinning.

There's an excellent show that was on Discovery Science titled "If There Was No Moon". Try to find this. I thought I knew most of the ways the moon affects the earth, but I had no idea.

Life on Earth would continue but would change drastically. Millions of species that depend on lunar tides would have to readjust or go extinct. Additionally, almost all the biorhythms of all living things evolved under the influence of the moon and that would all change also.

The earth would exist. The earth's rotation would be greatly affected thus, resulting in massive climate changes. The world would not be the same as the one we enjoy

yes it would but the sea's tide would be effected the moon pulls the ocean so you have low and high tides

I believe that it would still exist but there would be a whole lot of things that would change......and Im not sure if we would still be able to maintain
