zubka84 [21]
The question is incomplete.

The distance between the Moon and Earth influences: 1) the attractive gravitational force between them, 2) the tides, 3) the eclipses, 4) the period of each full turn of the moon around the Earth.

Assuming the question refers to the gravitational attraction, we must use the fact that, as per, Newton's Universal Gravitaional Law, the attractive force between the two bodies is inversely related to the square distance that separates them.

Then, if the Moon were twice as far, the gravitational pull would be one fourth (1/4) of actual pull.
