Since I've started writing sci-fi my research has been turning up some truly interesting science tidbits. We've all seen the Earth and other planets get annihilated left and right from 'gizmo beams', etc. But when you look at the Earth seriously, though it's much smaller than the Gas Giants it's the largest of the all the rocky planets including the planet-like moons in the solar system. When you seriously consider the Earth, it's really a giant ball of iron with some rock along with thin sheets of water and air over it. It is strongly believed early in the Earth's existence a collision with a rogue planet contributed to it's current mass and gave us the Moon as well. They estimate the planet was around the size of Mars but even that wasn't enough to obliterate the Earth! Here's a list of the Top 10 Ways to actually Destroy the Earth:
