The main effect is probably on the Moon's phases. If the Moon did not revolve around the Earth yet "magically" did not fall into the Earth, we would still see phases of the Moon, because Moon and Earth orbit the Sun.

However the changes in the Moon's appearance would be much slower.

In practical terms, it's the rotating around the Earth that gives us the Moon's regular phase changes.

Another effect is that we always see the same side of the Moon. That's because the time the Moon takes to orbit the Earth is exactly the same as the Moon's rotation period.

Also, there's a small effect on the times of the Earth's tides.
