Explosives would hardly be able to alter the position of earth. The only explosion that came close to altering the earth's position was from an asteroid that created 100 million mega tons of explosives.

Why earth's position in solar system so important?

Earth gets the perfect amount of heat and cold. If it were closer to the sun we would burn and temperatures would too high to survive. If it were farther earth would be too cold and we would freeze to death


At what position of the earth in its orbit is it summertime in the Northern Hemisphere?

Well gee, it's kind of difficult to describe positions of Earth in its orbit. The only way I know to describe it during northern-hemisphere Summer would be to say that it's the position where a line from the sun to the Earth points in the general direction of Orion.


How is the position of the full moon in relation to Earth and the sun different from the position of the full Venus in relation to Earth and the Sun?

When the moon is full, it is on exactly the opposite side of the Earth from the sun. A map of this would have the sun on the right side of a piece of paper, then Earth to its left followed by the moon to the left of the Earth.When Venus is full in the sky, it is on the opposite side of the sun from Earth. A drawing of this would have Venus all the way to the left, followed by the sun, then the Earth in a straight line (or vice versa), as long as they are directly on either side of the sun.

What would happen ifThe Earth is instantly replaced in its orbit by a speak of dust?

The Gravity at the point of the Earth's (former) position would disappear and would be replaced with that of the speck of dust.As a result the moon and all orbiting satellites would no longer be in an orbit and would start traveling in the direction they were traveling at the time the earth disappeared.A small gravity shear would also propagate outwards and would affect orbits and paths of objects close by.Also the solar wind and particle eddies that were previously created by the presence of the Earth would disappear.

When an earthquake shifts earth's axis altering time does that alter the earth's future?

No. An earthquake may alter the rate at which the earth rotates by a tiny amount. It would be completely unnoticeable to anything except the most sensitive instruments. It does NOT alter time itself.

Is it easy to observe the position of the earth in the galaxy?

No, in a position where one could see the galaxy as a whole, the earth would appear as a far too insignificant dot, and would likely not even be visible.

Where is the position of the earth sun in January if the earth rotated anti clockwise?

The Earth normally rotates anticlockwise as seen from the north. If you mean 'if the Earth rotates the opposite way', then its position in January (relative to the Sun) could be the same. The four seasons would also be roughly the same.


How can you prove if the earth really rotates?

Simply by observing the position of celestial objects such as the sun & stars ! If the Earth didn't rotate, the sun would be in exactly the same position each day, and the side of the planet away from the sun would be frozen ! Additionally, if the earth wasn't rotating, the stars would be in exactly the same places in the night-sky !
