What would happen if the solar system left the Milky Way?

In the short term, no, nothing bad will happen. The Milky Way is not particularly important to us in terms of keeping the solar system together, protecting us from anything dangerous, and so on.

Will Earth be destroyed when the Milky Way and Andromeda collide?

During collision two galaxies orbit around each other, ripping and tearing the matter/gas in each other,they slowly looses their energy. Orbit of Earth around sun and sun around center of galaxy might change because of tidal interaction but Earth is not going to get destroyed.

Excluding planetary engineering, by the time the two galaxies collide, the surface of the Earth will have already become far too hot for liquid water to exist, ending all terrestrial life; that is currently estimated to occur in about 3.75 billion years due to gradually increasing luminosity of the Sun (it will have …

What if the solar system wasn’t in a galaxy?

Originally Answered: What would happen if our solar system left the Milky Way Galaxy?? Very little. The night sky would be almost completely black, except for the planets of our solar system (and the Moon), and for a few faint background galaxies. That’s about all that would change.

How long will it take the Andromeda galaxy to reach Earth?

4 billion years
The Andromeda Galaxy is speeding toward us, but it will take 4 billion years to get here. This artist’s concept shows the night sky from Earth in 3.75 billion years: Andromeda is much closer, appears larger, and has begun to distort the plane of the Milky Way with its gravitational pull.

What happens if two black holes collide?

It is possible for two black holes to collide. Once they come so close that they cannot escape each other’s gravity, they will merge to become one bigger black hole. Such an event would be extremely violent. These ripples are called gravitational waves.
