    Very negligable effect. The earth is estimated to already gain 10,000 to 100,000 tons of new weight every year due to meteorites and associated dust (1). Also considering the Earth weighs approximately 5.9 x 10^23 kg the amount that could be transfered from the moon to Earth in a number of lifetimes is negligable. 1.
