Life on any planet faces various existential threats including kicking out of its solar system altogether. Astrophysicist Paul Sutter doesn’t deny the possibilities of incoming stars kicking Earth out of the solar system. The Earth might receive a “swift kick” from a moving star’s gravity, which is often regarded as the “three-body problem”, the movement of three bodies combining through gravity is considered more violent and uncertain than just two. As per the previous research, a star crossing our solar system would have to pass within the orbit of Jupiter to have a decent chance of kicking us out from our orbit. It’s a jaw-breaking thought, but the chances of that happening will remain however limited.
