Pop goes the planets!

So, you have eight planets in the solar system. Mars, Saturn, etc etc. **What would happen to poor old Earth if, for some yet unknown law, some handwavium, or that statement, the aliens did it, if every other planet but Earth just went "Pop?"[1]

All of the moons, all of the speed, acceleration, etc etc, stayed the same, just that every planet, except Earth, is gone?

What I mean is that, lets say we have planet X in the solar system, and that X has one moon. When planet X goes pop, its moon just keeps on going on to whatever direction/acceleration it was moving. If that makes sense?

Main Question: What would happen to Earth if this happened?

Bonus Questions:

1. Is Planet Poppin' even possible?

Edit

-Bonus 2 removed

[1] I mean that the planets just pop out of existence, as if they were never there in the first place.
