Most people willl probably say "yes." I am not sure about it, my friend told me that in her school it says the earth gets closer to the sun every year. But, in The Bible (Isaiah 45:18) it says "He(God) made the earth and set it firmly in place. I can't exactly answer your question but i can tell you the Bible says "he set it firmly in place."
What else can I help you with?
How many times will the moon roll before hitting the earth?
It doesn't look like the Moon will hit Earth any time soon. In fact, it is gradually getting farther and farther away from Earth.
How long it would take a spacecraft to orbit the sun?
If its orbit is at the same distance as Earth's orbit, it will take a year, just like Earth. Closer to the Sun it will take less time; farther from the Sun it will take more time - just like any planet. The time for a specific distance can be calculated using Kepler's Third Law.
What causes Earth's year to be shorter than Jupiter's year?
Earth's year is shorter than Jupiter's year because Earth is closer to the sun and therefore orbits it faster. Jupiter's year is longer because it is farther from the sun, so it takes more time to complete one orbit.
Are older or more recent rock layers usually closer to Earth's surface?
More recent - in concordance with the law of superposition.
What if earth moved in a circular orbit farther from the sun?
It would be colder on Earth. the farther, the colder. Also solar time and civil time would match up perfectly or nearly so; there would be no need for a 'mean solar day', or 'mean time'. The analemma would be a straight line.
Over millions of years is the Earth getting closer to the Sun or farther away from the Sun?
The Earth is getting very, very slightly farther away from the Sun over time, due to tidal forces.
Would the force of gravity exerted onto the Earth by the Sun change?
It changes all the time, as Earth gets closer to, and farther from, the Sun, in its yearly orbit.
How far is your moon from the sun?
My moon averages about 93 million miles from the sun, same as the Earth. Half the time it's slightly closer than the Earth is, and half the time it's slightly farther, but the difference is never more than about 1/4 of a percent of Earth's distance from the sun.
Does the distance into space away from Earth affect how much slower time passes?
Yes, according to Einstein's theory of general relativity, time moves slower in stronger gravitational fields. As you move farther away from Earth into space, the gravitational field weakens, causing time to pass slightly faster compared to a point closer to Earth.
Are the planets moving farther from the sun over time?
No.
What if the moon were farther from the earth?
If the moon were farther from the Earth, it would appear smaller in the sky and have a weaker gravitational influence. This could result in weaker tides and potentially lead to changes in the Earth's axial tilt and rotation rate over long periods of time.
Why cant the earth orbit further or closer towards the sun?
The Earth's orbit is determined by a balance between its gravitational attraction to the Sun and its own momentum. If the Earth orbited significantly closer, it would experience greater gravitational force and higher temperatures, making the planet uninhabitable. Conversely, if it orbited further away, the lower temperatures would also make it uninhabitable.
What is the orbit time around the earth?
Near the surface of the Earth, the time for an orbit is about one and a half hours. As objects (satellites) get farther, they would take longer for an orbit.Near the surface of the Earth, the time for an orbit is about one and a half hours.

What time of year is the sun farther from earth?
Currently, the apapsis (or aphelion) is in July.
Distance from the sun to the moon in km?
Since the moon is revolving around the earth, it must be closer than the earth isto the sun for half the time and farther for the other half. So the moon's averagedistance from the sun must be pretty much the same as the earth's average distance.That's 149.6 million km.
