dont forget the Earth only has 1 satellite.
Jupiter has 60 or so.
What happens to our moon, might also happen to Jupiters'.
What I'm trying to say is, the universe has been changing for billions of years and after each change, the system equilibrates itself thanks to the laws of physics.
So if you remove the moon (lets say someone somewhere simply plucks it out of the galaxy) its possible that the Earth as well as its surroundings will shift and stabilize back to equilibrium point.
1. longer days?
2. longer year?
3. change in our ecosystem as some animals wont be able to hunt at nite with no moonshine to work with?
just to name a few.
The immediate changes will be very hard to estimate (assuming humans will be able to survive such changes), and so, the phrase "survival of the fittest" comes into play.
Science If the moon suddenly disappears?, what will happen?
