"The comet will be assimilated as will all other matter orbiting the sun."

The Earth, and a few other outer planets, will be blown out into space as Sol turns into a red giant in powerful spasms that will absorb Mercury and Venus. A powerful solar wind will simultaneously blast away Earth's atmosphere, water and crust and likely blow the entire planet into space in a long stream of eroding dust. Sol will become a white dwarf.

Have a nice day. We still have about 5 billion years to go.

Ok, in the event the process described above works out to be reality, then the earth will resume it's path into the maw of the black hole at the center of the galaxy on a modified course.

We are still discussing how specific molecules will travel. Earth molecules will still make that trip perhaps not as the Sol amalgamation.
