when do you think a collision with another planet will happen

Sailor:

Well... It ight take a while, it depends on the size of the planet and all that.

urmum:

Umm, probably not ever because studies have shown that A. the sun will explode first or B. well crash into another unverse and kill us all. All of thiss will happen in a few billion tho

Jaxs:

Well A dramatic glimpse of the aftermath of a collision between two exoplanets is giving scientists a view at what can happen when planets crash into each other. A similar event in our own solar system may have formed our Moon.

Astro:

Well, first thing I have to say is in our galaxy or just anywhere in space? Knowing what I just said if it is anywhere in space two planets could've collided already and we just don't know it because it was in a galaxy that is very far away.

563blackghost:

Heh, one happened already......4.6 billion years ago, its what created the moon. So far there is no evidence that a planet will crash right now with the Earth, but orbits around the Sun do *wobble* over large periods of time, might or might not change the chances. I mean its a higher chance to be hit by an asteroid than a planet.
