What if earth changes its orbit?
If the Earth's
orbit moves closer to the Sun, we will all burn, if it moves away, we will all
freeze, a good thing that we are in the right spot.
You may not be
able to feel it, but the earth is now spinning. Gravity is not just a fairy
tale. It is a natural phenomenon that attracts objects to each other. Our
planet's gravity keeps humans, animals, buildings and other forms of material
on Earth. Similarly, the Sun is 100 times the diameter of Earth and
gravitationally exerts on all the planets of the solar system, which makes us
orbit the Sun once a year.
If the Earth
changes its orbit, perhaps because the sun has disappeared in some way or
something, such as entering a larger object into the solar system and
exercising more clouds, this will probably mean the end of life as we know it.
It is likely
that the Earth without an orbit will go directly to the sun to crash in it,
because the path of our planet around that big star in the sky is what keeps
the earth from withdrawing directly to the sun because of its gravity.
Imagine throwing
a tennis ball from the roof of a building. We know that the more force you
throw, the faster it will travel and also travel more before it attracts the
ground.
Our giant planet
(planet Earth) moves around the Sun at 18.5 miles per second. This means that
it continues to fall permanently towards the sun, but it’s very high speed
prevents it from reaching the sun. All of this will change very quickly if the
planet stops moving in its orbit, the planet will burn with all that it is as
it approaches the sun.
The dramatic
shift in Earth's orbit primarily affects the planet's temperature. If you are
closer to the sun the climate will be hotter, a small step closer to the sun
will have a tremendous impact, because the heat causes the glaciers to melt,
raising sea levels and more flooding on the planet, without land. To absorb
some of the sun's temperature, temperatures on Earth will continue to rise and
heat will cause high levels of carbon dioxide and vapors released into the air
by the oceans.
Conversely, a
shift in Earth's orbit further away from the Sun will lead to a possible
cooling and freezing of the planet. The oceans will be covered with ice,
causing them to emit less carbon dioxide and vapors, and will also make the
years longer, and more distant from the sun will take longer to complete its
annual orbit.
With mention
that the impact of the shift in Earth's orbit will be on the rest of the solar
system, even a small change in its orbit around the sun will cause planets
collision.
The exact
position of Earth can also change for Jupiter, the largest of the eight
planets, which is a shield of some kind, dispersing harmful gases and asteroids
that may hit the Earth.
