What is a gamma pulse?
I presume you mean a "gamma ray burst." This is a burst of gamma ray energy, lasting from less than a second to a few minutes, that comes from outside our galaxy. Despite being from that far away, they are measurable on our planet, meaning the energy release in one second of a gamma ray burst is greater than the energy that our Sun will release in its entire ten billion year life cycle. GRB's are now thought to be from the collapse of a massive star, but the question has not been completely settled. If a gamma ray burst from within our galaxy were to hit our Earth, all life on our planet, even bacteria, would end within a few days.
What would happen if a magnetar was next to Earth?
In all likelihood you wouldn't be around to read the answer. Magnetars produce an amazing amount of X and gamma rays, that our Earths atmosphere wouldn't be able to deflect. So we would all be dead.
What would happen if a meteorite had to hit earth?
the earth would be destroyed
What would happen to a typical body cell if it suddenly increased in size by ten folds?
probably it would burst and die
What would happen if your sun was replaced by a pulsar?
We would all be killed in the supernova explosion that created the pulsar out of our Sun. The Earth itself would be vaporized. Any returning space travelers would be fried by the intense pulses of gamma radiation that give the "pulsar" or "pulsing gamma ray source" its name. However, this cannot happen - because our Sun isn't nearly massive enough to go supernova.
What would happen to earth if it got hit by a gamma-ray burst?
Earth gets hit every day by gamma-ray bursts - from far, far away. Depending on how near the gamma-ray burst is, it may cause some serious damage.
What if earth were hit by a gamma ray burst?
The earth would be completely destroyed.
What would happen if Earth erupted gamma rays?
The earth would have to be a supermassive dying star to emit gamma rays.
What would happen if you shot a black hole straight though the center with a gamma ray burst?
The gamma rays would be absorbed, the black hole's mass would increase.
Will a gamma ray burst end the world?
There has been some speculation that a gamma ray burst has affected life on earth at one or more intervals in the past. And it is possible for it to happen in the future. For a gamma ray burst to destroy earth, the source would have to be moderately close, and because one characteristic of the gamma ray burst is that the emitting body directs two separate "rays" out in opposite directions. We'd have to be exactly in the wrong place at the wrong time and end up on an axial alignment with the gamma ray beam. As the beam is of short duration, the earth would shield a portion of life from its direct effects, but the destruction (ionization) of our atmosphere by the high radiation could burn the entire surface of the planet. Even on the "back side" away from the direction the beam originated in. This could happen, but will it happen? It's an event of low probability. Not that anyone will be spared if we "win the lottery" and get tagged.

Can you think of any objects or processes outside the solar system that might affect the earth?
A gamma ray burst would certainly affect earth, depending on how far away it is. It could come from outside the solar system.
if I were to get 7 billion eggs and dropped them all on te planet what would happen?
THEY BURST
What would happen to a cell surrounded by fresh water?
it would burst
What would happen if you drank to much blood?
u would burst
What would most likely happen if Earth moved closer to the sun?
It would burst up in flames. If earth moved closer to the sun we would all die and suffer of the heat of the sun and also if the earth got closer to the sun earth can most likely melt.
What would happen to a cell if it were placed into a solution of lower osmolarity?
it would burst
