Is there a possibility that the earth will vanish?

Answer 1

It's really impossible to say without knowing how the Moon was destroyed. Assuming it was done in such a way that none of the pieces hit Earth, there wouldn't be much of an effect on Earth at all. There wouldn't be any more eclipses, tides would be smaller (and occur at about the same time every day), and nights on average would be slightly darker. If some of the pieces did hit Earth, it would be the mother of all meteor showers.

Answer 2

there is little evidence. if it is so then there will be warnings such as large tsunamis and tidal waves due to the moons gravity pulling the waves around.

well I watched this show (I believe in God) but it said when the universe was made earth was cooling off gas and part of earth while it was gas broke away to become our moon and astronauts put mirrors on the moon and it seems it is moving away from earth about 2 inches every year and I may not have understood this next part as much but I think they said it was going to go away so far it will come back and hit earth but my theory is if earth is more than zillion years old then wouldn't the moon have hit the earth all ready?

The moon is constantly moving further away from the earth. this is a result of the moons rotation around the earth ant the effect that the moons gravity has on the earths oceans. the earth's oceans as a result of the tides put a force out into space that is constantly pushing at the moon forcing it further and further away from us.

Answer 3

It is highly unlikely that the Earth will just vanish. However, there are potential threats like asteroid impacts or stellar events that could possibly cause catastrophic damage to the planet, but the complete disappearance of Earth is not considered a realistic occurrence.

Answer 4

If the moon isn't destroyed from debri, it will most likely be caught in another astral body's gravitational pull. At first it will probably orbit the sun until it go past a different object and causes it to take a new path.

Short answer it will just float away until caught in a new gravitational orbit.

Answer 5

No. Most likely not. Current scientific theories suggest that the moon was created around 4 billion years ago when a proto-planet smashed into the young earth. The resulting debris that was scattered into outerspace either fell to earth or coalesced into the moon. When the moon first formed it was about 16 times closer to the earth at the time and has been slowly moving further away. Current estimates are that it moves about 6 inches further away every year. So instead of hitting the earth, it will most likely someday be released from earth's gravitational hold and fly off into an unknown space destiny and away from earth for eternity.

Answer 6

Most probably no way this will ever happen. The moon is actually slowing getting farther away from the Earth. Of course there is some off chance that some crazy scientist back in 1955 will fall off his toilet, knock his head, and have a crazy dream. That same man will 30 years later send a dog into the future. While being shot at by Libyans, this crazy scientist's friend, who happens to be a high school student, will drive that Delorean right back into the past, then future, then crazy messed up past, then future again, and then finally back to the Wild West all the while trying to fix mistakes. This crazy future/past and time machines made out of trains will rip the space time continuum so ferociously that the moon will instantaneously be pulled into Earth sometime earlier Winter, just when it starts to get cold every day with no hope of anything near 50 degrees of the year 2675. Good luck friends, so long and thanks for all the fish.

Answer 7

It is thought that towards the end of it's life, our sun will expand and reach the orbit of earth, potentially destroying the earth in the process as it becomes engulfed by the sun. That's not for a few billion year yet-in the mean time we would have probably done most of the work ourselves.

Answer 8

No. Matter can be neither created nor destroyed, only changed. While it is likely the Earth will be consumed when the Sun expands into a red giant in a few billion years, it will not simply "vanish," but become part of the Sun itself.

Answer 9

No. The Earth is not nearly massive enough; the sun isn't even massive enough to collapse into a black hole.

Answer 10

Zero. In fact, the moon is slowly moving away from the Earth (3.8 cm per year) and will continue to do so.

So if you're going to make a bet, save your money.
