What would happen If the moon blew up?

Answer 1

We would be in very serious trouble. Apart from missing something beautiful, we would have seriously reduced tides, by almost two-thirds. The tide cycles are important for the sustaining of various kinds of life along earth's shores, and tides create important currents that help sustain much of the sea life we have living today. Even worse, the moon has helped to regulate and stabilize earth's rotation on its axis. In the long term, earth's tilt would go haywire, due to tugs and pulls by the sun and the other planets. The seasons as we know them would shift and change with disastrous results. At some point, earth's axis may even become close to coplanar with the ecliptic-- the poles would point directly toward the sun a couple of times per year. If the moon disappeared, there's no doubt that the consequences would be dire.

Answer 2

If the moon blows up,well,the pieces of the moon will rain on earth,which kills pretty much,most of the people(depends on which the moon is facing).

NASA is blowing up part of the moon, so I don't think this would happen because we would already be dead.

IMPROVED ANSWER

if the moon really did blow up. not only will bits of rock rain down on us and kill us. but for the survivors, after a while, will get washed away by a tidal wave due to the moon's effect on the tide.

Answer 3

If the moon breaks apart it will form into a ring around the Earth, much like the rings of Saturn.

Answer 4

we will have no more tides in the ocean and we wont have a pretty moon to look at
