If gravity of Earth suddenly becomes zero then Moon will begin to move a straight line in the direction in which it was moving at that instant. This straight line will be a tangent to the circular path. This change happens because the circular motion of the Moon is due to the centripetal force provided by the gravitational force of the Earth.
