What would happen here on earth if the moon did not exsist?

Answer 1

The most immediate short-term effect would be no ocean tides, and extinction of creatures that need tides.

Medium-term effects: no land-tides either, meaning fewer but larger earthquakes.

Long-term effects: (1) no rotational slowing of earth's spin. (If the Moon had never been there, the day would be about 18 hours long). (2) no lunar stabilization of earth's obliquity (axial tilt), meaning larger and more violent swings in climate.

Answer 2

Without the moon there would hardly any tides because only the suns gravitational pull would be operating and thta isn't strong enough on it's own. and so the Earth would rotate a lot faster and sodays would be shorter, the Earth's axis would also wobble like a bowling ball making the climate too unstable for life to exist. The moon also took a lot of hits from Asteroids and meteors that would otherwise have hit the Earth. To sum it up, the Earth would be drastically different and uninhabitable if there was no moon.

Answer 3

The most important role of the moon is to stabilize the rotation of Earth around itself, meaning that earth keeps rotating on a fixed axis going through the poles, this happens because of the gravity of the moon.
If the moon didn't exist, the rotation of the Earth would be random, there wouldn't be north and south poles, and there wouldn't be an equator.
This of course would prevent having fixed climate in each specific region, maybe then for a few years one region would be cold like the north pole, but when the axis of rotation change suddenly that region becomes desert.
Possibly this wouldn't allow life to exist, at least not the way we know it.

Answer 4

If the moon had never existed, it is doubtful that life would have developed here. If the moon were to magically disappear, there would be no immediate disasterous effects. We would no long have lunar tides and ocean life in tidal zones would suffer. In the long run, the axial tilt of the Earth would not be as stable and could shift over time, leading to dramatic climate swings. Life in some form would likely survive these climate changes.

Answer 5

The moon stabilizes the rotational axis of the Earth so that our planet does not wobble on its axis too much. That helps keep our climate stable.

And the moon produces tides.

Answer 6

moon controls the flow of water with its gravitation nd if the moon do not have existed no tidal waves are formed and the flow of water would not have been at steady flow most important is islamic calendar depends on moon

Answer 7

The moon is moving further away from earth every year. I believe the lean would become greater and our ratation would become more like Mars.

Answer 8

Tidal effects would change.
So would planet rotation.
All these things are figured into the gravitational pull of the moon.

Answer 9

Not a lot. Nights would be darker, there wouldn't be any tides, we wouldn't have cheese and werewolves would be a thing of the past. Also there's a chance women would behave more normally but I wouldn't put money on it.

Answer 10

America would have never won the fake space race that includes going to moon .........from russia.
