What if the Earth disappears?

Have you ever wondered: "What will happen to the Earth if the Moon disappears?" That is a hypothetical question that scientists always seek to answer.

Recently, scientists have provided some reasonable explanations for this question.

First, researchers are interested in how the Moon is destroyed. We still know that the gravitational pull of the Moon helps the Earth stabilize its tilt during the Sun's rotation.

But astronomers point out that, besides the Moon, helping the Earth to function stably, the force of attracting other planets in the Solar System also contributes to maintaining the stability of our planet.

The attraction of the Moon and the Sun creates the tide on the Earth. If the Moon disappears, the tide will still happen, but it will be high every noon, everywhere. This transformation may lead to chaotic earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

Earth's rotation axis completed a cycle of about 26,000 years. The moon helps stabilize the Earth's axis of rotation and this stabilizes the climatic regions on Earth.

Without the Moon, the Earth's rotating axis is more variable and disturbs climates, species that are difficult to grow. Life on Earth will have a completely different face, with shorter migration cycles and day-night cycles.

Thanks to the Moon, every 100 thousand years, the tilt of the Earth's axis only varies from 0.5 to 1 degree. Without the gravitational force of the Moon, after 100 thousand years, the Earth's rotation would shift at an angle of 85 degrees. Such a big change will make the two polarities in turn cause a clear and rapid climate change.

In addition, if one day there is no Moon, it is possible that people will never care about the journey into space to fulfill the mission of finding life outside the universe.
