Without the moon, the ocean becomes a lot calmer. It could also throw us off our axis, meaning that at points we'll be closer to the sun, resulting in overheating and death, and at other times we'll be too far away, resulting in extreme cold and death.
The effect it would have on our seasons is almost unfathomable as we deal with winters and summers of epic proportions – much like Game Of Thrones where the winter seems to be coming for years and years. Our planet already sways slightly, budging from the angle of 22 to 25 degrees, but without our little lunar buddy, this swing could go from zero to 85 degrees.
Without it, the Earth would begin to wobble massively. The moon acts as something as a balancer for our world. Nonetheless, if asteroids do not kill us, the natural demise of the Earth without its companion will. Without the moon, we are vulnerable and leave ourselves open to attack from asteroids, hence the many craters that are dotted on its surface. Not only would massive chunks of the moon bombard us, we would also have less protection.Īlthough it is only relatively small, the moon acts like a blockade, protecting us against those pesky space rocks that are determined to kill us all – just ask the dinosaurs about the asteroids intentions. However, if it was completely obliterated, the effects would be devastating.įor starters, thousands of moon rocks would rain down on Earth, destroying populations, cities and even countries like it was taking its anger out on us because we had left it in the sky all alone for billions of years as it watched down on us having all the fun. If it was just split into several fragments, the different parts would likely re-join and form a moon that is not as perfectly spherical as the one we gaze upon now but would still carry out many of the duties that the current moon does. If the moon was hit by a massive asteroid or for some reason blown up by humans, because you know, sometimes we just like to blow stuff up, what would be the outcome? How essential is the moon to life on earth? Getty
