Not here to ruin the fun, but a shockwave like that would be impossible

The shockwave can advance on the surface of the moon, but rarely/never it goes off of it, plus the explosion is just too big, and the moon is too big

I mean the moon isn't close to us at all, in the gap between earth and the moon we can fit every planet, including the tiny pluto

not every planet, but we could definitely stuff mercury, Mars and pluto in there

Yes we can, it depends on how close the moon is, but in general we can

yes it depends on the time

also, the size of the moon in the clip is way bigger than how it appears irl, which would mean that in the clip it is either bigger or closer, which, either way, would greatly affect tidal forces upon the earth if it were real

I posted on here just for entertainment.

First off, asteroids only burn up when they are in the atmosphere. Since the moon has no atmosphere, the asteroid would not be burning up or leaving a trail.
Next, that asteroid would be moving a significant portion of the speed of light if the scale was correct - which it's not - and would break of a huge chunk of the moon.
Third, the speed of the debris ring was way too fast.
but since this is "for entertainment purposes", I won't hold anything against you.
