It seems unlikely that the planet Earth would ever move closer to the sun. Possibly a large comet impact, coming from the right direction, could have that effect. Of course the sun will eventually expand into a red giant, so although the Earth won't move closer to the sun, the sun's expansion will bring it closer to Earth. But that's not for a few billion years.

Answer #2:

The earth never actually moves closer to the sun, unless impacted with an object, such as a meteoroid. But that still depends on the direction of impact, and the size and speed of the impacting object.

During the seasons, the earth is tilted so the North or South portion will be closer to the Sun. So, depending on which hemisphere you are on, the Earth we be in either winter or summer. Usually, during fall and spring, the hemispheres are about equal.

What would most likely happen if Earth moved closer to the sun?

How would Earths length of year change if earth was closer to the sun?

If Earth were closer to the Sun, its orbital speed would increase due to stronger gravitational forces, resulting in a shorter orbital period. This means that a year would be shorter because Earth would complete its orbit around the Sun more quickly. The exact length of the year would depend on the new distance from the Sun, but generally, the closer Earth is to the Sun, the shorter the year would be.
