It's in the details ...
The most immediate effect (other than the lack of moonlight, of course) would be on the Earth's tides. With only the Sun's gravitational influence, the difference between high and low tides would be reduced dramatically - as would tidal drag, which slows the Earth down at a rate adding about 0.002 seconds to the length of a day each century. Long term, the effects would be far more serious. The climate of the Earth is sensitively dependent on the 23.5° tilt of the Earth's axis, and without the stabilising presence of our relatively huge Moon, the gravity of the other planets would produce big changes in this angle - as it does with Mars, whose tilt changes by 60° over a few million years ...
If we had no moon the Earth would be unstable and would wobble on its axis, the moon's gravitational pull helps the earth stay stable.

What would happen if earth had tow moons?
It would be brighter then just a moon, and tides would be different.
What would happen to planets and their moons if there were no gravity?
If there was no gravity, the Sun and and the planets would never have formed.
What would happen if the sun was touching the moons atmosphere?
Our moon has no atmosphere to touch.
What happen in minsoda in walk to moons?
in walk 2 moons what happed in minsoda
What would happen if the moons revolution was twice as fast as it is now?
It would go super fast and when its night it will be morning. love girls.
What would happen if the moons orbit were completely in the same plane as the earths orbit around the sun?
A lunar eclipse
If the moons movement around earth suddenly slowed don greatly what would happen?
The moon would spiral inward towards the Earth.
What would happen if there was no such thing as the moon?
Then there would be no nice full moons. The tides would also be quite a bit weaker (we would still have tides due to the Sun's gravity).
What would happen to our solar system if there were no gravity?
The planets would fly off into space and lose their moons and atmospheres. The sun would explode from its enormous interior pressure.
How many full moons happen on a leap year?
A leap year, like normal years, usually has 12 full moons, but can have 13 full moons.
How many moons would fit across the Earth?
4 moons would go across the earth, and 109 earths would go across the sun.
What would happen to a planet when it explodes?
Its impact would be huge and all life on it would die and it would destroy all small objects like asteroids and moons around it. I thought you knew!
