QUOTE I personally think it would be bad coz I can't bring a gal out near the sea to watch the beautiful moon. That would be the only immediate effect QUOTE There would be lesser tides and more dead fishes In the near future. QUOTE The rotation, the normal 24hours a day would change After many many many years(more in the thousands) |

QUOTE I dont think it`ll affect much.. as earth`s rotation is affected by sun`s gravity.... QUOTE Most of the tidal effects seen on the Earth are caused by the Moon's gravitational pull, with the Sun making a somewhat smaller contribution. Tidal drag slows the Earth's rotation by about 0.002 seconds per day per century - Wikipedia |
