    What are the chances of the sun or any other stars crashing into the earth?

    Hi! The chance of that happening are very low. Earth is in orbit around the Sun. This is a very stable sort of relationship! We expect it to last for a few more billion years.

    Other stars crashing into Earth are not very likely either. Stars in our part of the galaxy are fairly spread out, and as far as I know there is not one close by and headed this way.
