Will Planet X hit the earth in a few years?

Planet X did not exist.It was a possiblity for a few years,but we now know it is not.It could not hit us anyway.When the sun eventually condenses into a tiny ball,the closest planets will be sucked into it by its gravity.So,if it was getting sucked in too,which it would not,it would not get there in time.They did recently discover a new planet however.Its name is Sedna.

Well first thing is this planet has not officially been named yet, Xena, Persephone, and Lila are the recent names. The facts about it so far is it has an oliptical orbit, extremely far and its thought to have pluto-like surface. Life? Its highly doubtfull anything could survive. Its orbit takes 560 years.\nI recommend the following weblink: http://www.gps.caltech.edu/~mbrown/planetlila/

The Earth has probably already peaked as a haven for plants and animals and begun its long descent into oblivion, according to scientists at the University of Washington who have plotted out the future of our planet.\n\nThese are not prophets of doom who have mounted the podium to warn us that we are killing ourselves through bad stewardship. They are scientists who say all good things must come to an end sometime, and at best we've got no more than half a billion years left.\n\nAfter that, the planet will return to its ancient past, inhabited only by bacteria and single-celled organisms, just as it was in its earliest years. But in time even those will vanish as the Earth is reduced to a lifeless chunk of rock, or swallowed entirely by an expanding Sun. \n\n...

The Earth will probably not be destroyed. All life may die but the Earth will still be here. Something about 300 meters across hits the Earth about once every 20,000 - 30,000 years. This is big enough to make a city sized crater.\n\nHere is a link to the Top 10 Ways to Destroy the Earth. \nhttp://www.livescience.com/technology/destroy_earth_mp.html\n\nTo blow up the Earth you would need 224,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Joules. The Sun takes nearly a WEEK to output that much \nenergy.

Not universal, just planetary.

There is a comet that is visible now and will be passing reasonable near Earth (a few million miles away) about that time, but no, no comet is going to hit the Earth any time soon.

Yes, alas, all things must eventually come to an end, especially the good things. Earth will indeed be destroyed eventually by some asteroid with our name on it. One such asteroid has been found: 99942 Apophis, which we still dont know if it will indeed strike the Earth in 2036. But, it isnt the proverbial dinosaur killer, its only 820 feet across, a peanut compared to others that have hit. But, yes, we could terraform Mars and turn it into another Earth, the way it was so many thousands of years ago. I mean, we can grow food hydroponically, create our own little magnetosphere, and create the feeling or effect of gravity. The problem with terraformation is that we have no idea how long it would take, estimates have ranged from half a decade to an amount that is not realistic. Yes, we would go there by spaceship unless the Gov. reveals its Stargate program or some other means of transport. I would assume that a large majority of people would go, but there are always gonna be the fanatics and those who would rather die where they were born. And, you cant realistically transport EVERY human off the planet unless we had many, many, many decades of warning, which we may not have. Sorry to be pessmistic about it, but the numbers just dont really work out in our favor unless we have the benefit of time. But, I would imagine that a majority of the people would make it off, because I would assume that in that realisation, costs would be waived. And imagine the chaos that would grip the globe! But its all very possible to do, we could go right now if we wanted to. And for those who didnt go... It would not look pretty. We're talking about water being flashboiled, tons and tons of rock and ash being thrown into the atmo. if the initial blast doesnt kill you the ensuing volcanic nuclear winter would. Crops would be destroyed and we've learned that nothing with a body weight of over 60 lbs made it through the last ice age. Those who stay behind... Their future would be very grim.

The earth will not explode.  No, whoever said the sun will go supernova failed pre-k.  Ignore them.  Anyway, the earth can not explode, nor can any other planet pretty muc.  The Astroid belt would be to small to be a  destroyed planet, for it would be smaller than pluto if all the rocks were to be put together.  The only way the earth could exploide is with the colision of and object about 4x the size of earth if it was solid...and that, by almost all laws of physics, is impossible.\n\nEdit:\n\nOh, your also asking for the end of the world.  Very well.\n\nThe sun is 4.5 billion years old scientists estimate.  The sun eventually, in 4.5 billion years, swell into a red giant.  It will expand very far, and the earth will be engulped.  Plant life will die, the earth will become dry, and very few organisms will survive.  Eventually, the heat will evaporate the atmoshpere away.  The sun might swallow up the earth, and the earth will be devoured and broken apart from gravity if im correct.  Edit any posts and correct me if im wrpong.  If im not wrong and you correct me, watch how badly I flame your ***\n\nEdit2:\n\nOmfg how many people dont understand!  My god, you idiots!  Comon, a planet getting sucked into a blakc hole?!  YOu retatrds!  Your kidding me right? If your actually voted as the best answer, then the world truly will explode!  You people know nothing in life!\n\nAnyway, at the guy who says the earths core is a neuclear reactor:\n\nThe earth yes might be getting hotter, but that is no reason for it to explode.  Im not saying im with the media, Im only saying that the earths not in any real danger yet.  Im saying that I think It will last some time...but you do have a pont.  I'll do some looking into it.  Gotta show this to my buds on other forums.  Afk.\n\nPs. Good job for playgerizing the whole article but 2 words, by the way!

Nope! Not unless we bomb everyone, including ourselves...but I highly doubt we'll do that. According to studies, the only way that earth will truly blow up, is when it goes through its final stages. For example, turning into a red giant. I can't remember what stages we are in at the moment...but it won't happen for a long, LONG time.

No, the Earth will continue in its orbit around the sun. But as the sun runs out of hydrogen fuel and balloons into a red giant, it will become so huge that Earth will be completely incinerated. Sorry to break it to you.

Very little chance, considering most life will not exist outside our solar system from the huge heat of the planets.\n\nOHANDPOSTINGINCAPSLOCKSWITHNOSPACESMAKESYOUREALLYMATUREIMSUREYOUHAVEAHOTGFANDARETOSEXYFOREVERYONEHERE!!!

are they sure that it will hit earth in that year? Maybe it will hit earth much later, or maybe they'll find a way to stop it. I don't know, the size, but asteroids sure are large, but maybe it'll be just a small collision that the earth will not split up and humankind will not be...destroyed.

No, it will not.\n\nXM uses two geosynchronous orbiting satellites that are positioned over the center of the western hemisphere.  Both of these satellites will be below the horizon (or close enough to it) that you will not be able to receive a signal from either of them.\n\nSorry, but you'll have to load up the MP3 player instead.

Yes -but it will have to leave this planet-because we are killing the earth with pollution- maybe our decendants will populate mars or where ever.

Hopefully soon, I will be the first to sign up,\nas for the earth being destroyed...hopefully once I move to Mars or Jupiter or after I'm dead.

POSSIBLE maybe in 2030

Yes.  The sun will blow up in about 4.5 billion years, taking the earth with it.  Odds are humans will have been gone long before that though.
