simply put: no

a star is about the size of our sun, maybe a bit(or a lot) larger or smaller, but if it were to collide with earth, our whole planet would be... absorbed and we would all die

Can a star fall from the sky?

No. The stars are far beyond any noticeable effects of Earth's gravity. The stars are also far larger and more massive than Earth is, so if Earth were ever to run into one it would be more accurate to say that Earth would fall into the star.

Why doesn't the north star ever fall?

The phrase "falling star" is a misnomer. Stars do not actually fall (except celebrity stars). The smallest possible star dwarf's earth in terms of mass--if earth and a star were to ever collide, it would be the earth doing most of the falling. Tidal forces would then rip our planet asunder as it fell into any star. Also, the North Star (Polaris) is about 430 light years away. Meteors, so called "falling stars," are all tiny bits of debris swept up as earth orbits the sun--typically no more than a few light minutes from earth at their furthest distance from us.

In what conditions can stars start to fall - scientifically?

It depends on what they are falling into. A star could never fall to Earth but one could, if it got too close, fall into a black hole. A black hole is an object that has collapsed under the force of gravity and has such strong gravity that not even light can escape. It is possible, however highly unlikely, that a star could pass through our solar system by chance. Stars are massive, far larger than Earth. For reference our sun is one of them. In such an instance the orbits of the planets would be greatly disrupted. What is popularly called a 'falling star' has nothing to do with stars, it's a speck of space dust burning up in our atmosphere.


Can the earth fall from the sky?

No, the Earth can not fall from the sky. That is because the sky is all around the Earth and is really called the atmosphere. If the world would fall for some reason, the sky would fall with it.
