What can you say about this subject? 

This is an assumption, but what could be the impact on the world?

Disappearance of the major component of the tides, with a devastating effect on intertidal organisms and probably other ecosystems that benefit from the flushing action of tides.

I get it but I guess it's not just limited to tides

It would be darker at night on average.

What do you think the effects would be?

What will be the effect on the earth's rotation speed?

It will stop slowing down (almost).

When the world first formed, its rotation speed was faster than it is now and it started to slow down. Will the slowdown be faster when the moon disappears?

Another ecological effect will be on organisms which use Moon for timing, for example, coral spawning.

This is two different questions, bc nothing happens in a vacuum (ironically).

Had the Moon disappeared more than 4000 4.10⁹ ya it would have been much much worse. Most Earth scientists think it was essential in the appearance of life.

Isn't it rather 6000? 😄

LOL forgot x10⁶ didn't I?

Coming from me lately, how could it be otherwise? fortunately more than 4000 and more than 6000 could also be more than 4.7x10⁹ yo.

Thanks
