Can an asteroid destroy Earth?

Any fragment larger than 35 meters across would not burn up in the atmosphere and could impact Earth.

Thereof, what will happen 5 billion years from now?

Five billion years from now, the sun will have grown into a red giant star, more than 100 times larger than its current size. It will also experience an intense mass loss through a very strong stellar wind. The end product of its evolution, 7 billion years from now, will be a tiny white dwarf star. What if Earth had 2 moons? If Earth had two moons, it would be catastrophic. An extra moon would lead to larger tides and wipe out major cities like New York and Singapore. The extra pull of the moons would also slow down the Earth's rotation, causing the day to get longer.

Also, will the moon ever collide with earth?

Short answer: Technically it's possible that the Earth and Moon could collide in the very distant future, but it's very unlikely. It's certainly not going to happen while any of us are alive. Long answer: The Moon is in a stable orbit around Earth. Subsequently, what if earth had 100 moons?

How big would a meteor have to be to destroy Earth?

Scientists estimate that an asteroid would have to be about 60 miles wide to wipe out life on our planet.

What happens if the Sun explodes?

The good news is that if the Sun were to explode ? and it will eventually happen ? it wouldn't happen overnight. During this process, it will lose its outer layers to the cosmos, leading to the creation of other stars and planets in the same way that the violent burst of the Big Bang created Earth. Can we survive the Sun's death? In about one billion years the Sun will begin to die. As that happens it will heat up and essentially melt the surface of the Earth before becoming a red giant and engulfing the planet entirely - unless we move the planet. It is possible for the Earth to survive the death of the Sun.

You can also ask what will happen when the sun explodes?

After the sun has burned through most of the hydrogen in its core, it will transition to its next phase as a red giant. At this point roughly 5 billion years in the future, the sun will stop generating heat via nuclear fusion, and its core will become unstable and contract, according to NASA.
