that WOULD depend on the size of the explosion but judging by the size of the planet and the relatively short distance between us the ISS it'd probs be blown away as well! If the Earth jst dissapeared or imploded into nothingness however...ummm...it mite just float off into space! Or go in the direction of the Earth's implosion in which case it'd keep floating towards the Sun, Moon whatever...but ne1 on board wudnt last long so there'd jst be a random space ship floating about space for the aliens to find! Sweet!

Exploded, as in random explosion not caused by an asteroid or every single nuclear weopn going off at the same time... but rather, as in large chunks of mantle and core shooting off in every direction, suddenly boiling away the seas and obliterating the crust at the same time, for, no, reason?
In that case... even the moon would get messed up. Lets break it down kids. I need a beat... First there would be a large flash that could be seen trillions of miles away. The flash would last about 15 seconds. About five minutes later China sized chunks of mantle would smash into the sandy surface of the moon with the intensity of around 200 million Megatons (Oh, god can you imagine seeing that coming). The moon would smash like a tenis ball within a half a second, the entire moon would be like a giant molten poop stain in space. Millions of moonlets would flit out into deep space or maybe even the sun or other planets. The sun would munch them up like Pac-Man. Other planets would suffer greatly even if shrapnel that big even flew by them. Mars would turn into an oval for 1 minute as a chunk flies by. That would mean massive earthquakes (on Mars). Most likely they wouldn't hit anything except the moon. It's chances of hitting something after about 1 billion years are good though.
Btw, the ISS is gone. as in "A train hitting a worm on the tracks" gone.

No way. The space station is VERY close to Earth. At the scale of the typical desk globe it is orbiting only about 1/3 inch above the surface. 220 miles above a planet 8,000 miles in diameter.

I saw a documentary on the destruction of Alderon, and when it exploded, the death star remained intact...

No because either the force would blow it up too or it would just explode since it doesn't have the Earth's gravitational pull.

The death star was ten Alderaan radii away from Alderaan when the planet exploded. And, besides that, it had them force field deflector shields.

No
Will blow up due to sudden loss of the earths gravitational force.

if you havn't noticed, the earth is relativly close to the space station, so it would probably be blown to smotherines!!!

I hope not. Could you imagine being in it and knowing that when you run out of air and supplies you were going to die and there is no one to save you?
