Have you ever wondered what would happen if our planet suddenly shifted just a little closer to the Sun? It sounds like a simple change, but moving Earth's orbit 5% closer to our star would unleash consequences so dramatic they'd make the most extreme weather events look like gentle spring showers. Right now, we orbit at an average distance of about 93 million miles from the Sun, and this seemingly small adjustment would bring us roughly 4.6 million miles closer. While that might not sound like much in the vastness of space, it would fundamentally transform our world in ways that would challenge every living thing on Earth.
