One change to earth would be that there would be no major source of light at night. There would also never be any solor, or lunar eclipses. More noticeable yet, tides along coastal areas would be much smaller. There would still be solar tides, but these are a fraction of the height of lunar tides.

How will the Earth rotate without moon?

The Earth's rotation is not dependent on the Moon; without the Moon, the Earth would still rotate. However, the Moon's gravitation gradually slows down Earth's rotation, so without the Moon, it is possible that Earth would now be rotating faster.The Earth's rotation is not dependent on the Moon; without the Moon, the Earth would still rotate.

If the moon were positioned three times as far from the earth as it is now the gravitational attraction between the earth and moon would be?

1/9th of its present value


Would earth exist without the moon?

Yes. Earth would exist without the moon, but it would probably be very different from how it is now. The moon has a stabilizing effect on the wobble of Earth's axis. A more stable wobble means a more stable climate. The moon has also gradually slowed Earth's rotation. Without the moon there is a good chance the life could never have gained a foothold on Earth.


Is the moon between the earth and sun during a new moon?

Yes, that is why only a small sliver of the moon is visible from our vantage point on Earth during a new moon. When the moon is full, the Earth is now between the Sun and moon. In this configuration, we on Earth would now see the entire disk of the moon. It's important to know the the sun is actually always illuminating one-half of the moon's orb 24/7. It only appears in "phases" because of our perspective from Earth.


Why is earth missing the moon every now and then?

The earth is never missing the moon. It just looks like it is not there. It is probably just hiding behind some clouds or something.


Is the moon of earth?

An asteroid had hit Earth and knocked of a chunk that is now called the moon.


Is the earth's gravitational pull on the moon enough to make them collide?

No, obviously not, or it would have happened by now.


If the revolution of the moon around Earth slowed down how long would the length of one cycle of the moon's phases most likely be?

Your question is not complete; slowed doen by how much? right now it takes 29.5 earth days for the moon to make one complete revolution around Earth. So if the speed of moon slows down by half of what it is now, then it would take twice as much time as it take now revolve around Earth


Was there life on the moon?

No, The moon was created when Earth could not sustain life. The moon was pulled into Earth's Gravitational pull and now orbits around Earth.


What would happen to the Earth's tides if the moon was twice the size as it is now?

What matters heres is the Moon's mass, as well as its distance. With a more massive Moon (and in the same orbit), the tides would of course be stronger.


How much lighter will you be on the moon if you are now 20kg?

If I were to be in space which would be awsome I would be or you would be 3kg on the moon. If you were 30 kg you would be 5kg on the moon.


What would happen if the moon did have an atmosphere?

If the moon had an atmosphere, it would have weather just like we do. The footsteps on the moon, which are still there now, would be long gone. Other than that, it wouldn't affect Earth very much/at all. The atmosphere probably wouldn't have Oxygen, so it still wouldn't be inhabitable.
