I Believe The Most Likely Way The Earth Will End Is A Asteroid Hitting The Moon.
If this happens, and it very well could, it would upset the waves and tidal waves would cover populated cities. Volcanoes would then erupt more frequently then normal and that would cause the sunlight to be blocked out.

No I think the earth is a bit like terminator. I'll be back.

This theory doesn't say anything about the Earth ending. Life on Earth wouldn't even end in this scenario, cockroaches and many others would almost certainly survive.

I believe we're most likely to get sucked into a black hole, but if not then the sun will just expand to engulf most of our solar system in..w/e NASA says so, a long time.

Lots of asteroids have hit the moon already, as attested by all the craters on its surface. Why is the moon more likely to be hit by an asteroid than the earth, considering that it's much smaller? Granted, its atmosphere is weaker so incoming asteroids won't be burn up in its atmosphere to the same extent they would on entering Earth's atmosphere, but, presumably, you are talking about a very large asteroid? One big enough to destroy the moon or knock it out of orbit?

If an asteroid that large appeared, it would be more likely to hit Earth than the moon and, even if it did hit the moon, it would probably cause debris from the impact to rain down on Earth with catastrophic consequences.

The moon is gradually moving away from the Earth, so we will have to deal with it not being there in the end anyway.

How would that block the sunlight?
