Common sense helps here, far weaker characters early on in db and dbz show they can blow up planets, do you really think Master Roshi in dragonball has any blast that is more powerful than someone like Cell's? You think the blasts that Cell hurt Goku with are weaker than what Roshi used on the moon? Do you think Roshi could kill a ssj3 Goku?
As far as the earth still being there, Freeza was one of the only characters who could live in outerspace so I doubt the other fighers would let their attacks blow up the planet they were fighting on. When Vegeta used his final flash on Cell they all thought he lost it and was going to let his final flash destroy earth but he ended up controlling it, its likely that they all control their energy so they don't destroy the planet. That could also be why when they power up they shake the earth one second and the next are just glowing.
Or it could be just another dumbass dbz loophole
Trunks grabbing Freeza's Death Ball is filler. But that attack never exploded either, so there's no way we could know that Trunks could have taken it.
They took blasts from each other, but none of them were planet destroying since the Earth was still there. The Spirit bomb never destroyed a planet, it only created a crater. Goku has only been hit with a planet destroying attack once, and it killed him. When ever he's shown be faced with a planet destroying attack, he counters with a Kamehameha.
You make it seem like they toss around planet destroying attacks all the time, when clearly they don't. The only time we see them use planetary blasts is when they use one of their special attacks (Kamehameha, Death Ball, or Final Flash) that requires alot of ki to be charged. Goku in all of his fights were hurt by lesser ki blasts that couldn't destroy the planet and badly bruised by physical attacks (inferior to Superman's). Gohan arm was injured by one of Cells energy blasts, and it wasn't planet destruction either.
Supes flies right through energy blasts often, it really doesn't work against him in fights. He was tossed into a red sun three times, one even being covered in K-nite; being tossed in a red sun far exceeds any attack Goku can bring. Superman survived a supernova (twice, one even had red radiation) and a double black hole. those small ki blasts that Goku be tossing won't cut it, his Kamehameha won't be enough either, Supes will either take the blasts, dodge them or just stop Goku in the process since it takes time to throw the blast.
Goku has no way of winning. He can't take any of Supes punches or kicks because he's not durable enough, and he's physically not strong enough to harm Superman. He can't block or dodge Supes Heat Vision either, which is hotter than stars and was able to stop much more powerful opponents than Goku, this isn't some ki blast. He could Freeze Goku and break him or vaporize him with HV.
And Supes highten senses gives him a huge advantage. Goku rely's on ki sensing to locate his enemy, but Supes powers doesn't come from Ki, so Goku won't be able to sense him. Supes however, can fly in space, use telescope Vision, and then blast him with HV or fly across the planet and telescope vision and super hearing to locate Goku's position and then use HV.
Or it could be that when someone in dbz wants to blow up a planet they usually send their attack into the earth itself and then it explodes, but when they are fighting their attacks blow up on the surface or over the planet.
Or it could just be that it's not planet destroying. When that energy they use is released, there should be nothing left if the attack really is planet destroying, but since the blasts that shoot when they explode, and it does destroy the planet, that only proves that it isn't planet destroying. They even let the people know when they are about to use a blast to destroy the planet.
1. Freeza stats that he's about to use his death ball to destoy the planet
2. Vegeta fighting Goku for the first time
3. Cell when he was fighting Goku and when self destructed
4. Goku sensing Kid Buu's energy ball when he destroy Earth
5. Trunks sensing Vegeta's ki when he was charging up Final Flash against Cell
Supes has to many ways to win, while Goku has none.
