In how many years is Andromeda supposed to crash in to Planet Earth?

Question

Then will the earth be wiped out? Or destoryed, of outta orbit

Answer 1

you do know that there is a meteor on its way right now? its about 25-35 years away.. and they say if it isnt on a collision course that it will pass really really close.. but.. they arent going to do anything about it until they can decide how close its going to be..

so i wouldnt worry about andromeda..id worry about the other one coming (dont remember its name at the moment)

Answer 2

The collision should have minimal effects on Earth. Galaxies are VERY diffuse objects, the average distance between stars in the spiral arms is measured in light years, so the odds of actual stars colliding are practically zero. The orbits of the stars around the galactic center will frequently be disrupted, but that is unlikely to have any meaningful consequences for the planets around those stars.

As the major nebulae of the MW and Andromeda collide, however, you will get a burst of star formation, and that may irradiate planets close to the nebulae.

Answer 3

In about 5 billion years. Galaxies don't crash like tractor trailer trucks. There's so much space between the stars that the pass by each other and the galaxies gravitationally merge. A few stars do collide but it's rare. What does happen though is the colliding dust kicks off massive star birth.

Answer 4

By the time Andromeda merges with our Milky Way our Sun will have already gone red giant and absorbed Earth.

Answer 5

Between 3-5 billions years from now. Anything could happen to planet Earth by then.
