If the gravitational pull of the Earth decreases
A
The moon would not stay in its orbit
B
The moon would stay in its orbit
C
The planets would not stay in their orbits
D
All of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Without the pull of the moon, this tilt would change. Either the tilt would become extreme, leading to extreme and severe seasons, or the tilt would decrease, and we would see almost no seasons at all. The moon influences life as we know it on Earth. It influences our oceans, weather, and the hours in our days.

Detailed explanation-2: -The moon revolves around the earth in a similar way but due to the velocity with which the moon got hooked onto the earth’s gravity keeps it from falling onto the earth. This keeps the moon in a pretentious orbit around the earth even though it is moving further away from our planet by an ever so little margin.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Moon and Earth exert a gravitational pull on each other. On Earth, the Moon’s gravitational pull causes the oceans to bulge out on both the side closest to the Moon and the side farthest from the Moon. These bulges create high tides. The low points are where low tides occur.

Detailed explanation-4: -As the Moon moves away we will see longer than 24 hours for a day. But this is far from the worst thing that will happen to Earth. One of the biggest impacts would be on tidal waves. While oceans will still retain some movement due to the gravitational force of the Sun, it will be very weak and minimal.
