What If We Move the Earth to a New Orbit

Показать описание
Did you know that the Earth's orbit isn’t a circle, but an oval-shaped ellipse? And the length of the day is actually not 24 but 23.93 hours. We, humans, take these facts for granted. But what if one day, we had to move the entire planet to a completely new orbit and change the existing order?

Before we figure out if there’s any way to push our planet out of its orbit, let's find out why we might need to do so! The thing is that our doomsday is approaching. Even if the planet doesn't get overheated due to global warming, the sun will finish it off... But don't be scared, it’s not happening tomorrow.

SUMMARY:
- The star is getting hotter and hotter as the centuries pass. And one day, about 5 billion years from now, the sun will inevitably turn into a swollen red giant. About 2 billion years later, the sun will swallow the Earth.
- Long before that, in about 1 billion years, the sun will have already grown more than 11% brighter. It’ll make the average temperature on Earth rise to at least 120 degrees F.
- Even this increase in temperature will lead to the World Ocean getting dramatically warmer. The water will start to evaporate like it does when you leave a pot of water in the sun.
- The hydrogen, which is a crucial building material for all kinds of living cells, will slowly but surely leak into space.
- If our descendants want to stay alive, they’ll have to migrate to another planet or maybe even galaxy!
- It’d still take thousands of years to deliver all the Earth's inhabitants to their new home. Also, it’d take unimaginable amounts of fuel - even if people flew no further than to another planet in the Solar System.
- That's why another option will likely come into play: people will have to change the orbit of the planet before the disaster strikes to avoid the tragic outcome!
- Scientists have even calculated that to keep leading a comfortable life (or at least survive), people would have to change the orbit of the planet so that it's 9.5% further from the sun than it is now.
- At first, a mega-strong and long lasso may seem to be the simplest solution.
- But where can you find a material strong enough to carry the weight of the whole planet? Besides, how can you be sure that this asteroid will take you exactly where you need to get?
- Maybe an effective way out would be moving the planet out of its orbit with the help of a gigantic light sail?
- But once people calculate all the details, they'll find out that the reflective disk of the light sail would have to be more than 19 times bigger than the diameter of the planet!
- An electric thruster could become a cool alternative, especially if we talk about ion drives! Come to think of it, this method could work out! And if people managed this unprecedented feat and DID change the orbit of the planet as planned, there’d be some noticeable changes.
- Our planet's orbital speed would drop down from 18.6 to 17.7 miles per second.

Will it ever be possible? What do you think, guys? :)

Y'all forget the importance of our moon! We would still need it as it stabilizes our rotation and makes complex life possible with it's tidel influence

after 4 billion years (aka after the sun explodes or whatever) we will have to go to another earth (earth 2) or another solar system

lol i just checked my notifs and found this comment
i redid it with its proper grammar

The ending made me think that this is something they will do... 'hey people! We now have 415 days in a year but your salary will stay the same'!

couple things not mentioned, and i'm sure there are a lot more:
1. planet orbits are stable due to their influence on each other. not sure how much play we'd have before mars takes notice.
2. remember we have a moon too. moving the earth means moving the moon, and it's not going to like that.

Teach me about the earth🌎🌗🔭 Make it a great day 👊

Just remember, don't move too close to mars cuz howard the alien will have an easier journey travelling to earth and he could destroy the whole planet all together with his unexplainable power of dancing.

If all planets where in the some orbit,
it would look like a *moving necklace* around sun

I don’t see how moving the earth could be possible, doesn’t the gravitational pulls of everything in our solar system keep everything where it is?

This was like one of the movies they showed us in elementary school back in the sixties.

We would all die.
The orbit of Earth we have is the most perfect spot for life we can get
