What Would Happen if the Earth Collided with Saturn?

I recently saw this image on facebook that one of my aunts posted shared*.

I won't say I didn't expect this, but to see it in the first sentence was a bit surprising.

Saturn still has a solid core.

Under such extreme pressures as found below such a thick, heavy atmosphere it is likely that even gaseous elements are reduced to complex crystalline matrices when you get deep enough.

Earth would likely be torn to dust by gravitational forces long before any kind of impact event, primarily dependent upon velocity.

At this point I'm starting to believe I'm being gently trolled by the same end user that runs Claeyts account.

Can I just point out the centre of all the gas/ice Giants are solid.

Thanks guys ... I needed this.

This is you who makes this video?

Nope, just some guy. I don't make videos or anything.

Do not despairing! I think you can do what you will put the mind to. I can believe in my friend's ability.

- like everyone, I love your posts Ysh.

There's a game that answers important questions like that, down to the chemical level: http://universesandbox.com/

I think I stumbled apon the worst forum post ever.

Even the ones in Hel are better XD

Most likely the planets will stay in their orbit more or less.
The first hurdle earth will face is the expansion of the sun in maybe one billion year.
The sun may or may not "swallow" the earth. If earth survives this it will remain in orbit for more years than the universe already existed.
This is unless some object not currently present in the solar system interferes.
