Say a large asteroid strike 'sploded it. And the pieces sailed away from earth, not toward it.
What would be the result? Mass hysteria? Dogs and cats living together? 35 foot long Twinkies? What? |

It would be bad.
Though not as bad as if someone had blown it up. Then the remains would come crashing down to Earth in a 5,000 year long barrage. |

Green cheese prices would skyrocket even faster than under Biden-flation.

Moon also affects the tide of earths magma. Magnetic field would destabilize. Life would cease

Im a firm believer in the moon being how exactly how it is (though its slowly moving away) is a big part of why we are here having a conversation about it.
That and many other things but this is a discussion about earth and the moons relationship. |
|
Actual climate change would happen sporadically since the moon keeps the earth's axis tilted.
|
|
The continental plates would stop shifting and volcanoes and earthquakes would begin going off nonstop.

Think of the planet like an aquarium. Think of the moon like a pump. A pump that's moving all of the world's water. Without the pump there's no oxygenation. Without oxygen everything in the aquarium dies.

Im pretty sure we all die. Probably be more merciful if it hit us.

The aliens that live inside it and pilot it wouldn't be very happy.

The Earth and Moon are much more like a binary planet system than a planet with a satellite. The moon is nearly 1/4 the mass of Earth. That's huge for a moon.
|
|
The Earth would cool very, very slightly because the light from the Sun isn't being reflected back onto the Earth during a full moon.

Quoted: No more werewolves .Duh View Quote Maybe that's not so bad. Quoted: End of tidal waters. View Quote Quoted: The simple answer is that the oceans would lose tide. View Quote |

I took a physical oceanography course in college jointly taught by Woods Hole. This topic came up one day. The conclusion was that life would end and the surface of the planet wouldn’t be recognizable.

Tides gone, seasons would be more erratic because the tilt of the Earth relative to our orbital plane would change more frequently, and days would become shorter.
|
|
It's a Wonderful Life would become even more puzzling to future generations.

Every story would begin with: “It was a dark, moonless night….”
