    I wonder if, because if the sun would disappear that the earth would float away in a straight line, the earth would be able to collide with other planets in our solar system because of their trajectory.
    I highly doubt that if it is possible, it could actually occur, but that's why i am asking this question, i am curious if it is possible.
