The year would be longer if it moved away from the Sun and shorter if nearer. The amount of the Sun's heat per square metre would also change bringing back an Ice Age if further away or creating global deserts like Mars if it moved closer.

How has the world's orbit changed since the 8.9 magnitude earthquake and the tsunamis?
No, earth's orbit around the sun did not change as result of the earthquake/ Tsunami in Japan, which was actually updated to a magnitude 9.0 earthquake. The length of a day, though, did change, and it changed by 1.8 millionths of a second. For earth's orbit to change, something would have to hit earth from outer space.
How do you place a satellite in earth orbit around sun?
It would need to be launched into a tangent plane parellel to that of the earth's orbit around the sun, with the same speed of rotation around the sun
What distances from earth equate to multiples of geosynchronous orbit?
It appears that geosynchronous orbit (orbit that appears stationary from earth's surface) is more or less equal to the circumference of the earth (around 27,000 miles). The moon which orbits the earth reaches the same point every 29 or so days. So it would appear that the moon is around 29 times the distance for geosynchronous orbit or about 783,000 miles.
True or False An artificial satellite in a high orbit will slow down and lose altitude due to the pull of Earth's gravity?
False. Why would it slow down? There is no friction in a high orbit; a satellite can orbit indefinitely. Only in low orbits will satellites slow down and fall from orbit, and the cause is the friction of the extremely tenuous final traces of Earth's atmosphere.
Did Apollo 11 pass the sun?
Not really. If there was an observer between the moon and Earth during this mission, if they were orientated properly, they could have seen the Apollo 11 CSM and LM pass in front of the sun, but no one was there to see this. The moon is in orbit around the Earth. The space craft simply went from low Earth orbit to a higher orbit that intersected the moon's orbit. At no time did they travel further than 260,000 miles. The sun is 93,000,000 from the Earth. There would be no reason for the Apollo 11 craft to "pass the sun" to get to the moon.
If the distances between the sun and earth changed what would be affected?
The closer we are to the Sun, the more light would hit the Earth. It would heat up the Earth a little. The time it takes to complete one orbit around the Sun is proportional to the radius of the orbit, so if we were closer to the Sun, the year would be shorter.
What would happen if earths orbit changed?
The temperature would be different on Earth.

Pedict how the temperature on Earth would be affected if the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere changed?
The higher you go, the less dense it would get
What would happen to the amount of energy received from the Sun if the rotation of the Earth changed?
Nothing. Provided the earth remains in the same orbit, then a change of rotation would not change the amount of solar energy reaching the earth.
What if the Earth changed its orbit and became closer or further away from the Sun?
if the earth came closer to earth all the waters would boil up and kill everyone, if the earth was further away, the water would freeze and all life would die
If all the people on the Earth jumped at the same time would the earth be thown out of its orbit?
No, the earths orbit is so great that the moon would would half to go at 100,000 mps to alter the orbit of the earth.
Can the earth be affected if the brightness of the sun changed?
Absolutely, the result in the brightness of the sun would change the temperature, wind, light, and maybe even seasons on Earth
How would a slower rotation and orbit around the sun affect seasons and agriculture on Earth?
When there is slow rotation and orbit around the sun , day and night in earth is affected not only that but due to slow rotation seasons in earth also changes slowly .As there is sloe season change in directly affects on agriculture on earth.
How might seasons on earth be affected if earths orbit were more elliptical?
The seasons are not caused by Earth's elliptical orbit but by the angled axis that the Earth rotates about. That being said, if Earth;s orbit were more elliptical by a significant amount, it would be logical to deduce that daytime temperatures (at least) would increase when the Earth is cloest to the Sun. -J The lengths of the seasons would be affected, since the earth (or any other body) travels faster as it gets closer to the sun. Currently, the earth is closest to the sun in early January and farthest in early July, which is why the northern hemisphere winter is about 89 days while the northern hemisphere summer is about 93½ days. -HW
What things would not be affected if the earth stopped rotating?
Interesting question.. so far I have only come up with a few things of which I am not 100% sure about. + Earthquakes + Earth's orbit around the sun + The internet?
Europe's little ice age of 1645 to 1716 is believed to have been the result of an elongation of Earth's orbit?
The Earth's orbit doesn't change enough to make ANY changes in climate likely. Orbit can be predicted accurately over thousands of years and has not changed. If orbit did change, it wouldn't change for only a year and then return to normal; it would change indefinitely.
