If we blew up the moon, would life continue on planet earth?

Answer 1

it would depend on how it was blown up and if a large proportion of the debris hit the Earth. A 10-20 kilometer chunk of anything hitting our atmosphere & making impact would definately be an extinction level event, but whether it would eradicate all life or just everything with more that a single cell would be kind of moot, wouldn't it.

Answer 2

we need our moon to control our tides. without it, there is a large likelihood that we will lose our water and atmosphere.

This issue has been relevant in the discovery of new planets. The recent discovery of yet another planet in another universe has shown that for that planet to support life, it must have water. due to the size of the planet in question, its moon would have to be 3/8ths the size of jupiter to keep the water, tides and atmosphere in balance.

This shows how much this Earth needs its moon. plz dont blow up our moon...

Answer 3

I don't think that life was created on Earth because of the Moon, so having no moon but some sort of ring would be cool indeed.

Answer 4

well if you think about it practically then definitely not because almost half of the debris would fall to earth. the debris from massive collisions would block sunlight around the world, cause tsunamis, earthquarks, and volcanic eruptions.

if we forget the debris and assume none hits earth (no...) then yea we would be fine. the tides would change, that not bad though.

Answer 5

Life would continue. It's just that the tides will be diffrent.

Answer 6

God would get pissed off because he is supposed to end the world and will cause those rapture stuff and that flood and I will change my name to Noah.

Answer 7

Who is this "we" that might blow up the moon? And why would they do that?

Answer 8

I dont know lets blow it and see whats happening! jk
