The earth-moon system would drift through space for ever or until they were captured by the gravitational force of some large mass.

What would happen if the rocks cycle stopped?

For that to happen, the interior of the Earth would have had to cool and weather would have ceased to exist. Not a pretty picture. Look at the moon as an example.

The Earth would spin of into space. To see a show where the Moon did that-search Space 1999.


Is the earth's moon a significant factor for life on earth?

Yes, without the moon live as we know it would not exist on earth.


What would happen if the moon orbited earth in one day?

Techincally speaking that would never happen. The moon would have to be VERY close to the Earth. The moon moves away from the earth 1.75 inches away from the earth each year, making the hours of the day longer. If the moon did orbit the earth in one day, this would happen around the time period the moon formed in space.


What if the moon did not rotate around earth?

If the moon didn't rotate around the Earth, it would be to dark to see at night and eclipses would not exist!


What will happen to the earth if there's no moon?

The Earth is not dependent on the Moon in any vital sense, meaning if there was no Moon, Earth would likely continue to exist and orbit the Sun. However, there would be some changes. The most visible difference would be a lack of tidal cycles, since the rise and fall of tides is primarily influenced by the Moon. This in itself can have other effects on Earth or its life that are not as easy to measure or extrapolate.


What would happen if the sun crashed in to the moon?

Earth would blow up along with the moon.


What would happen if the moon and earth were moving at the same speed?

There would never be a full moon.


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.


What would happen to earth if the moon were to be replaced with an object that had Jupiters mass?

If earths moon was destroyed what would happen on earth?

If earth's moon was destroyed, then we will no longer have normal tide cycles.
