just a thought

[Guest wamble]

I am thinking that we are looking at Mars, because the earth is getting closer to the sun, because the sun is slowly pulling the planets into it, and the earth will get to hot to have life on it, and Mars will be in position to accept life, just a thought ,

Where do you get the information? The sun is not pulling the planets closer, it can’t because its mass is remaining constant, though the determination of orbits is thought to occur, it occurs on scales far to small to be what you are talking about anyway. What is happening is that the sun is growing larger as it starts to run out of Hydrogen fuel for its fusion and so starts to fuse Helium and what have you making it hotter and so making it expand. Mars is not really in a position to accept life really, its to small to “hold” an atmosphere like we would require, it was though it may have had one once long ago but it leaked away into space and so the same would probably happen again

 

Cheers and welcome to SNF!
