SaganWannaBeWannaBe Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 What would happen if Jupiter's orbit started to decay? Would there be a point before which we'd feel no effect on Earth or would we experience something relatively soon (regardless of the relative positions of Earth and Jupiter in their orbits.)

swansont Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Do we notice anything now, given the large variations in our relative distances? We orbit at 1 AU, and Jupiter's is about 5. So we range from 4 to 6 AU in separation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
