Oh sweetheart, don't you worry about that. The distance between Earth and the sun actually stays fairly consistent every year, thanks to our beautiful elliptical orbit. We're just twirling gracefully through space, hanging out at a comfortable distance from our favourite star. His warm rays light up our world just right.

Why is the moon getting closer?
The Moon is not getting closer, it is moving away from us a few centimeters every year. This is because the Moon was formed by a giant impact to the early Earth, and ever since then it is spiraling away.
Is the sun getting closer to the earth?
We are nearing the point when the earth is farthest from the sun, aphelion. It was on or close to July 4, 2008. After that time, earth will be slowly getting closer to the sun until January 2 or there about, when earth reaches its closest point to the sun, called perihelion. At aphelion earth is traveling more slowly in its orbit; at perihelion it is traveling a little more rapidly. This is all related to the fact that earth's orbit around the sun is an ellipse and not a circle. Our orbit is close to circular, but it is not a perfect circle. For those in doubt (more than likely northerners who find it hard to believe that our summer is at a time when we are farther from the sun) the earth's seasons are caused by our axial tilt of about 23.4 degrees, and not by relative distance from the sun.No earth is stuck in place on the axis.
What is the picture of 8 phases of moon?
Phase 1 - New Moon - The side of the moon that is facing the Earth is not lit up by the sun. At this time the moon is not visible.Phase 2 - Waxing Crescent - A small part (less than 1/2) of the moon is lit up at this point. The part that is lit up is slowly getting bigger.Phase 3 - First Quarter - One half of the moon is lit up by the sun at this point. The part that is lit up is slowly getting bigger.Phase 4 - Waxing Gibbous - At this time half of the moon is lit up. The part that is lit is slowly getting bigger. Waxing means to slowly get bigger.Phase 5 - Full Moon - The side of the moon that is lit up by the sun is facing the Earth. The entire moon is lit up at this point.Phase 6 - Waning Gibbous - The moon is not quite lit up all the way by sunlight. The part of the moon this is lit is slowly getting smaller. Waning means to slowly get smaller.Phase 7 - Last Quarter - Half of the moon is lit up but the sun. The part that we can see lit up is slowly getting smaller.Phase 8 - Waning Crescent - A small part of the moon is lit up at this point. It is getting smaller by the minute.
What time will the space station pass over concord ca tonight?
You can check the exact passing time of the space station over Concord, CA tonight by visiting websites like spotthestation.nasa.gov or using smartphone apps like ISS Tracker. The passing time can vary, so it's best to check closer to the time you want to see it.
Why do stalactites take so long to grow?
Stalactites take a long time to grow because they form as mineral-laden water drips slowly from the ceiling of a cave. The minerals in the water slowly accumulate on the tip of the stalactite, leading to its slow growth over time. The rate of growth can vary depending on factors such as the amount of mineral in the water and the frequency of drips.
Definition of income convergence?
