List the moon phases in order?
What did you find out if there was no moon?

    If there was no moon time will be shorter because we will have no moon and the moons gravitational pull slows down Earth.
    It would be harder for nocturnal animal to catch their prey.
    There will be less waves and will be a large extent to the weather.
    The Earth will not tilt on its axis.
    When it is night time its pitch black because the moon gives light when its night time.
