The difference would probably be not all that significant.
There's a myth that even a 1 mile difference could make the earth too hot to live on, but that isn't true. The Earth's orbit isn't a perfect circle, and we actually get about 3 million miles closer to the sun. Even 3 million miles doesn't make much difference, in fact we're closest to the sun during the month of January, the middle of winter for the Northern Hemisphere.
Oh, what a lovely thought! If Earth were 1 mile closer to the Sun, it would actually make a small difference in temperature due to its elliptical orbit. Our beautiful planet would be just fine nestled a little closer to our life-giving star, continuing to receive its nurturing warmth and light.
The difference would be too small to calculate accurately. Earth's distance from the sun already varies by about 2 million miles over the course of a year, reaching its closest point of about 92 million miles in January and its farthest point of about 94 million miles in July.
It would take about the same amount of time to travel 1 mile on the moon as it would on Earth, assuming similar modes of transportation. The moon's surface gravity is about 1/6th that of Earth's, so you would experience less resistance while moving.
Over a distance of 1 mile, the curvature of the Earth causes a drop of about 8 inches. This means that if you were to lay a straight line along the Earth's surface for 1 mile, the two ends would be about 8 inches lower than if you were to measure the distance in a straight vertical line.
The Sun is approximately 93 million miles away, so it would take about 93 million hours at 1 mile per hour. That's more than 10,000 years.
Then our hours on day and night would be alot longer
It is: 0.8 of a mile which is closer than 0.67 of a mile
No. 1500 meters is about .93 miles. 1600 meters would be closer to a mile.

If Earth moved closer to the sun, the increase in temperature could lead to catastrophic effects such as the melting of polar ice caps, changes in weather patterns, and widespread ecological disruptions. It could also lead to a loss of habitable zones for many species, including humans.

Mars and Venus are the closest planets. Their distance varies greatly; read a bit on each, to see how close they can get. When they are on the farther side of their orbit, it may happen that at some particular moment Mercury happens to be closer. By the way, the Moon is not usually considered a planet.
closer to a km.
A 20,000 mile wide object would not be a meteor; it would be a planet significantly larger than Earth. In that case Earth, which is about 8,000 miles wide, would definitely be destroyed.
