[@Alex.2014.]

Except Jupiter needs to gain mass and grow around 1000 times bigger to even be close to a star and there really isn't enough mass around Jupiter to grow that big. The earth can't magically speed up to the speed of light either, especially since its actually slowing down both in its rotation around its own axis and in its rotation around the sun. And even the hurricane one is extremely unlikely given the strongest hurricae that hit new york to date was around 1938. What ifs are good, but don't always have logic behind them to make them believable.

What if every ounce of the water in clouds all froze instantly, and all those frozen clouds, fell to the surface at once? Trillions of tons ice all colliding with the crust of Earth at the same time. A typical cloud 1 cubic kilometer alone weighs 1.1 million pounds. All clouds at once, would rock every continent. Cause rifts in the crust. Lava would erupt everywhere. Just one giant frozen cloud falling into an ocean, would cause a world wide tsunami.

[@cinemartin3530]

The orbits of most planets would probably change, some of them would collide and collapse, and some, on the contrary, would leave the solar system. In general, this would not be very pleasant, and this is clear even to me, although I am not the author of the channel.

[@Deadsea_1993]

Depends on the size of the planet. If it is fairly small and depending on where it came from it could become a moon to Jupiter or Saturn. Or it would crash into them and get engulfed. It could knock Uranus back to a normal rotation as it bounced off and went in the opposite direction. Now if it is a planet bigger than Jupiter (especially by a tremendous degree) is when it would cause problems. Worst case scenario would be for it to come within the habitable zone cause the Sun would pull it in due to the gravitational force and basically Earth would be like a fish caught in a net and being pulled by the fisherman. In another scenario, if even a dwarf planet hit Earth, that would be it for us. The asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs was about the size of Mount Everest and it hit Earth at 40,000 MPH. Now imagine something the size of Earth (or slightly smaller) and yeah there would be nothing left.

you would see it years before it hits you

[@AwayTooMars]

The whole solar systems orbit would be thrown off the asteroids in the asteroid belts orbits will change planets will get bombarded earth will most likely get really cold or really hot won’t end well

These doomsday scenarios are both fascinating and terrifying to consider. It's a sobering reminder of the fragile balance that sustains life on our planet and the potential cataclysmic events that could disrupt it. While some of these scenarios may seem far-fetched, they're grounded in scientific principles, making them all the more chilling to contemplate. It's a stark reminder of the importance of understanding and mitigating the various threats our planet faces, whether they be natural or human-induced.

[@nibiruresearch]

Thanks to geologists we think that all living beings on our planet Earth have the most to fear from an asteroid impact or volcano eruptions. But when we look at the many horizontal layers that we find everywhere on our planet, we clearly see the effect of a repeating cataclysm. These disasters are mentioned in ancient books like the Mahabharata from India and the Popol Vuh from the Maya and others. They tell us about a cycle of seven disasters. Certainly, a cycle of regularly recurring global disasters cannot be caused by asteroid impacts or volcanic eruptions. The only possible cause is another celestial body, a planet, orbiting our sun in an eccentric orbit. Then it is close to the sun for a short period and after the crossing at a very high speed it disappears into the universe for a long time. Planet 9 exists, but it seems invisible. These disasters cause a huge tidal wave of seawater that washes over land "above the highest mountains." At the end it covers the earth with a layer of wet mud, a mixture of sand, clay, lime, fossils of marine and terrestrial animals and small and larger meteorites. The Northern hemisphere is covered with a layer of ice that fell down "in blocks as great as mountains". These disasters also create a cycle of civilizations. To learn much more about the recurring flood cycle, the re-creation of civilizations and its timeline and ancient high technology, read the e-book: "Planet 9 = Nibiru". It can be read on any computer, tablet or smartphone. Search: invisible nibiru 9
