In that case, among other things:
- It would be a lot colder on Earth. Perhaps too cold for most multicellular life.
- Earth would move more slowly around the Sun.
- The year (the time for one orbit) would take longer; you can calculate how much longer, using Kepler's Third Law.

If the average distance between Earth and the Sun were doubled what changes could occur in the Suns gravitational pull?
Its pull on the earth would be 25% as strong.
When the distance between the earth and the sun is minimum?
The distance between the earth and the sun is about 150 million km .
Is equal to the distance between the sun and the earth?
One "Astronomical Unit" is (more or less) the average distance between the Sun and Earth.
How much weaker does gravity get when you get farther away from the earth?
The force of gravity between two objects is inversely proportional to square of the distance between their centers. For example: -- If the distance between two objects doubles, the gravitational force between them drops to 1/4 of what it was. That's 1/22 . -- If the distance between two objects gets multiplied by 5, the gravitational force between them drops to 1/25 of what it was. That's 1/52 . -- If the distance between two objects gets multiplied by 10, the gravitational force between them drops to 1/100 or 1% of what it was. That's 1/102 . Right now, the center of you is about 4,000 miles from the center of the Earth. If you doubled that ... went 4,000 miles straight up ... the gravitational force between you and the Earth would drop to 1/4 of what it is when you're here on the surface.
An AU is the average distance between?
An Astronomical Unit (AU) is the average distance between the Earth and the Sun.
If the distance between the Earth and the Sun were doubled how would the gravitational?
The sun would have 1/4 as much pull on the earth.
Strength of force between the moon and earth if the mass of the moon doubled?
If one of the two masses doubles but the distance between them remains unchanged,then the magnitude of the gravitational force between them is also doubled.
If the average distance between Earth and the Sun were doubled what changes could occur in the Suns gravitational pull?
Its pull on the earth would be 25% as strong.
What happens to gravitational force between the earth and the moon if the distance is doubled?
The moon might escape it's orbit and become a moon of another planet.
What would happen to Earth and tides if the distance between Earth and the Moon increased?
Tides would become stronger.
What would happen to the earth tides if the distance between earth and the moon increased?
Tides would become stronger.
Which of these does not contribute to the changing of seasons A distance between the Earth and Moon B distance between Earth and Sun C distance between Earth and Venus D alignment of the Universe?
distance between the earth and the sun.
If your mass was doubled what will happen to the force of gravity between you and the earth?
Nothing, the force of gravity is always the same no matter how much you weigh. It will only change if you go to another planet.
What will happen if the max distance of the earth from the sun exceeded and when the min distance decreases?
Greater differences between summer and winter and more extreme weather.
What would happen if the amount of molecules in earth's atmosphere doubled?
They would create a double greenhouse effect
What happen when the distance between the sun and the earth changes?
winter occurs because less heat is radiated of the sun towards the earth so then the earth gets colder
What is the distance between earth and heaven?
The same as between the Moon and the Earth. The distance from the clouds to the surface of the Earth is insignificant, compared to the Moon-Earth distance.The same as between the Moon and the Earth.
