The Earth would have to be a lot closer to the sun to make any difference. Every year, as the Earth goes around its orbit it gets a couple million miles closer to the sun, and then a couple million miles farther away.
If you moved the Earth close enough to the sun, it would get warmer, but that would have to be many million miles.
If the earth got pulled in closer to the sun, or if the sun expands significantly, then the earth will get much warmer. That said, nothing like that is going to happen for a couple billion years yet.
If Earth moved closer to the sun, temperatures would increase significantly, leading to the melting of ice caps, changes in weather patterns, and potential harm to ecosystems and biodiversity. Life as we know it would be threatened due to the extreme heat and its impacts on the environment.
If only gravity were acting on Earth, it would continue revolving around the Sun in its elliptical orbit without any external forces to change its path. The force of gravity between the Earth and the Sun would keep Earth in its current orbit, so it would not be pulled closer to the Sun.
No, Venus is closer to the Sun than the Earth.
Mercury and Venus are the planets that are closer to the Sun than Earth.
the sun moves closer to earth
oceans would dry

It would get to hot. We would die.
we will all die
The earth will get warmer.

it will boil the ocean and melt the trees and grass
Not much, the distance between sun and earth does vary anyway.
The Earth would be completely destroyed. However, everything and everyone would burn up before the Earth ever contacted the sun. Also, the sun would not "come hurling against the Earth" for any reason. The the Earth could possibly be pulled closer into orbit with the sun, at which point many animals and plant species would immediately go extinct, depending on how much closer Earth got to the sun (AUs)
If we moved close enough, the planets atmosphere would disintegrate and we would all die from suffocation or heat.
