It's like trying to make a basketball move with another ball. You either need a equal or bigger ball, or the smaller ball will need to move much faster. However, when it gets small enough and fast enough, it'll act like a bullet and penetrate it. | |

Once the planet gets to wherever it is going, it's going to be a large frozen rock. | |
