i've been wondering these past days... can earth collide to a planet or the moon BEFORE it gets fried up by the sun???

The planets have their own orbits so no. The moon is going farther away not coming closer. Not by much maybe an inch a year. However an asteroid is possible but not likely.

yeah, thats a calming one, eh? multiple you adult males are intresting - i admire this kinda subject count so ive been cruising around right here.... heres some factors, chief: a million) first address the question; the respond is not any. no one individual or team of individuals right it relatively is somewhat or area of anothers conciousness. If that have been the case, you would be responsive to that different individual on your head. you're your self. Granted, there would be psychological phenomenon that make it seem as though there would be somebody else at situations (some human beings cry approximately demons or whatnot..) yet thats diverse. Youre responsive to your self and your innovations. Thats you. 2) the biggest fake effect that Ive viewed interior the Philosophy area which generates those questions and confusions is this: the individuals dont have regarded after out the version between concept and the actual universe. Theyve have been given it at a loss for words. Such components as TIME, area potential and count are interior of reach to the actual universe, obey the regulations of physics and different regulations - and that they act the way that they act. concept isn't an analogous. it relatively is comparable yet no longer an analogous. as an occasion, concept does no longer happen at "easy velocity", concept is instant, information and spriritual entities are no longer certain with the aid of time, (for this reason not at all die etc) - theres plenty that should b pronounced yet i think of keeping it effortless and only asserting "look into it from the point of view of being an information (you) and inhabiting the actual international will make sparkling (with any luck) some stuff. - yeah, theres multiple belongings you touched on too.... - the innovations and evaluations of the guy govern how they are, what they'll do etc. concept is boss. yet no, guy...its only you.

Not very likely. The planets have been in their orbits for billions of years -- it would take an incredible force to knock one out of orbit and onto a collision course with the Earth.
About the only possible way it could happen would be for the Milky Way galaxy to collide with another galaxy, and our solar system would have to pass through another solar system, and the planets would have to align just so.
I'd say the probablility is something akin to the probability that my cat will start speaking Latin -- infinitesimally small.

Not in this generation, or the next 100, maybe the 100 after that.
There will be a point where the advances of technology allow us to mess around with gravity distributions between the planets' orbits, and then all hell will break lose. Why? because it will happen as an accident (probably through human error!).
Don't worry... we will never be able to witness such day! :)

there is a realy low chance that earth will collide to another planet because each planet has its own orbit but becuase our solar system is moving through the galaxy it can come across other planets that can disrup the gravity in our solar system and send asteroids to earh.

the earth-moon distance is increasing due to tidal friction, so the earth won't collide with the moon (or other planets for reasons already stated)

NO. Because in future (i say in 2500BC) we will have the power to destroy planets ( see Death Star from "Star Wars"), so even if a planet is coming toward Earth, it will be destroyed way before collision.

As far as I am aware, no because all the planets are on different orbits...

Maybe, but in the next 20 billion years. You don't have to worry about it. Won't be in your lifetime.
