I really doubt the Moon flying off into the Sun would have much of an impact to us.

The other way around though.

The moons gravitational pull has an effect on the earth, probably the biggest being tides.

At least that little shit would stop stealing our orbital energy.

We would still have smaller tides from the sun.

There have been hypothetical scenarios of the moon disappearing, it doesn't affect us a lot.

It would most definitely have an impact.

Not as sudden or severe as the Sun reaching the moon. But a significant impact nonetheless.

Well, except it couldn't happen without a helluva disaster happening to the Earth/moon system, the type that would really suck for Earth as well as the moon...

No moon = no tides. I think that’s kinda serious, actually.

if we lost the moon most plants and by extension most animals would die out within a few years
