If the Sun suddenly disappeared, all of the bodies circling it would take off into space on straight line trajectories tangent to the previous orbit with the same velocity they were orbiting the Sun when it disappeared. This is called conservation of angular and linear momentum and conservation of energy. The Sun and the solar system are not floating on anything. The sun is not massive enough to explode/go nova, and it is not massive enough to become a black hole. When the Sun runs out of hydrogen to fuse into helium, there will be a helium flash, then the Sun will start to expand to become a red giant or super giant star. Eventually the sun will become a white dwarf star surrounded by a planetary nebula that will slowly dissipate as the Sun orbits the center of the Milky Way Galaxy.
This is a scientific understanding of basic physics, including how gravity works.

Can planet Earth really explode?
i think earth will not explode but it can get a lot heated because of pollution and breaking of the ozone layer by which the sun rays will reflect straight on us
Will the earth explode in 1 million years?
No. Earth cannot explode. Our planet will likely remain intact for about 5 billion years. At that point the sun will expand and probably consume Earth.
What would happen if a planet collided into the sun?
It is a very unlikely scenario but if it were to happen, that poor planet would be vaporized by the Suns' immense size and power. If there were to be a planet that was bigger than the Sun then both of them would be vaporized or the Sun would survive but be severely damaged and might explode because of the impact.
What is the third planet from the Sun is .?
Earth is the third planet from the sun.
Why do meteors hit planet earth?
They will hit Earth if, in their orbit around the Sun, they happen to cross Earth's orbit.
What rocky planet is third from the sun?
Earth.
What number planet from the sun is the earth?
Earth is the third planet from the sun. Mercury is first and Venus is second. Mars is the fourth. These are the Inner Planets.
Earth is to planet as sun is to?
...star. Earth is a planet, the Sun is a star.
What happen when the sun is very hot?
It will explode.
Is it possible for the world to explode?
the world is spining around the sun as you know but in 8456 years the world is getting one meter closer to the sun each year and one by one each planet will eventually get so close to the sun it will explode (including earth)
If a planet runs into the sun will the sun explode?
Planets can't run in to the sun. It stays on orbit.
What would happen if all the rays from the sun reaches the earth?
The Earth will estart burn . It will be a planet with out living creatures
