PARIS (AFP) – A force known as orbital chaos may cause our Solar System to go haywire, leading to possible collision between Earth and Venus or Mars, according to a study released Wednesday.

The good news is that the likelihood of such a smash-up is small, around one-in-2500.

And even if the planets did careen into one another, it would not happen before another 3.5 billion years.

Indeed, there is a 99 percent chance that the Sun's posse of planets will continue to circle in an orderly pattern throughout the expected life span of our life-giving star, another five billion years, the study found.

6. If that doesn't happen, the sun will blow up in another 1.5 billion years anyway.
Big, hot, supernova. Will absorb the orbits of Mercury and Venus, and if the Earth isn't sucked into it, it will be an awfully dry, hot place anyway.
