In about 4 billion years time, the sun will become a red giant and become so large that it will swallow up the earth. Long before then, the earth will have become too hot and dry for any life forms to survive. It is possible that an impact by a body from space - a meteor or comet - will cause significant damage before that. This could result in mass extinction or worse. But my expectation is that humankind will have destroyed life on the planet long before we get to that stage.

Will the world end if a meteor hits the earth?

It depends on the size of the meteor. A large enough meteor could cause widespread destruction and potentially lead to the end of human civilization, but it is unlikely to cause the end of the world as a whole. NASA and other organizations actively monitor for potentially hazardous asteroids and comets to mitigate this risk.

How will the earth come to an end?

the world will not come to an end as most people may think. scientist believe that-just like what happened to the prehistoric age-a giant meteor from out side of our solar system somewhere will crsh into the earth. And ending all life inside of earths atmosphere. as this happens it restarts the cycle. the earth's living organisms will die out and over centuries, every thing will replenish and then the cycle starts all over again.

If the earth is traveling at a speed of 64000 mph and a meteor the same size moving at the same speed collides with earth will you be thrown off?

That depends on where you are on the Earth and where the meteor hits. ________________ Wherever you are on earth, if an object the size of the earth collided directly with us (at that size it would be a rogue planet, I think, rather than a meteor) then certainly all life on earth would come to an end, and likely within minutes.
