The is a Jewish observance every 28 years for the Sun; there is an 11-year cycle of Sunspot activity; the Sun circles the galaxy about every 26 million years and precession (which is actually the wobble of the Earth) causes it to track back through the Zodiac in about 26,000 years. All these are cycles of the Sun.
If Earth were to get too close to the sun, the intense heat and radiation would make life unsustainable. The proximity would lead to extreme temperatures that could vaporize water and destroy the planet's surface.
The Earth is 93 million miles away from the Sun, which is exactly the right distance away.
The Earth will not get any closer to the Sun, but in about 4 billion years the Sun will start to expand and will get lots closer to US. When that happens, our atmosphere will be pushed away into space, the oceans will boil, and the Earth will be burned to a cinder.
Comets as opposed to meteors contain large amounts of ice water so i think as they approach the sun or any hot object the tail results from the melting of the water and the release of small rocks, ice and water. That's about all i know but that is the reason meteors do not leave a tail behind them; they don't contain any ice they are rocky and mostly dry.

If the Sun and Earth were closer, the Earth's orbit would have to somehow speed up or risk being pulled into the Sun.
The climate would warm up quite a bit, and years would be alot shorter due to the faster, smaller orbit.
It would likely pull the moon out of its orbit, and the Earth could possibly lose some of its atmosphere to the Sun.
Comets consist of 3 parts:
- The nucleus
- The coma
- The tail
The tail always faces away from the Sun. The Nucleus faces towards the Sun.
Actually the tails always point in the same direction which is away from the Sun. As the comet is coming closer to the Sun the Solar winds hit it and blow the particles away making the comet head look like its at the front. Once it has gone round the Sun and is moving away the tail is still pointing away from the sun but the tail of the comet is at the front and the head is at the back giving the impression that it is flying backwards.

The idea is that it isn't the Sun that is moving through the sky; it is Earth that moves around the Sun. As a result of Earth's movement around the Sun, the Sun's position - from our point of view - changes, with respect to the background. Thus, once month it is in one constellation, the next month it has moved on to the next constellation.
That is called an orbit. The shape of the planets' orbits (and the orbits of other objects, moving around other central objects) is an elipse.

As you might know, ions are electrically charged particles. Therefore they tend to be more carried by charged radiation than dust and other particles. The sun always sends out electrically charged radiation, called the solar wind, and it is this wind that blows the ion tail in the opposite direction of the sun.

What happens to the earth orbit speed as it gets closer to the sun?
It increases.
How close are Mercury Mars Earth Saturn to the Sun?
Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun, followed by Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun.
Why is the earth next to the sun?
Gravity. The gravitational pull of the sun keeps the earth close to the sun.
What happens when the sun set?
it gets dark
What happens when the sunsets?
When the sun sets, it appears to disappear below the horizon as the Earth rotates. This causes the sky to gradually darken as the sun's light is no longer reaching that part of the Earth. The colors of the sunset are due to the scattering of light by the Earth's atmosphere.
What happens when something gets too close to a black hole?
It will fall into the black hole. The same happens if something gets too close the Sun, for example - it will fall into the Sun.
What happens to the earth orbit speed as it gets closer to the sun?
It increases.
What happens is a rocket gets to close to the sun?
the rocket will never even get close enough the sun because it will melt because the heat from the sun is too strong.
What happens when the distance from the sun gets larger?
If the Earth moves further away from the sun we will freeze.
Why do people see meteorites when they get close to Earth?
It gets more hot and burns . then you see the light as it gets closer to the sun.
What happens to the small amount of sun's energy when it reaches the earth?
Nothing really it gets darker
Will the sun devour the earth when the sun gets bigger?
yes The current opinion amongst astrophysicists is "probably not, but it will be a close-run thing". The question is moot anyway, because the earth will be red-hot before the question gets answered.
How close does perihelion get to then sun?
Perhelion gets close to the sun about January 3rd...
Why is Ecuador hot?
Because it's close to the equator, the part of Earth that gets the most intense sun light.
How does heat gets from the sun to earth?
It gets to the Earth by RADIATION.
What happens to the energy from the sun when it reaches earth's surface?
What happens to Solar Energy is that some of it gets absorbed into air, land and water while the rest gets reflected back to space.
What would happen if the sun went to close to the earth?
If the sun will be close to earth, earth's temperature will increase. It will be too hot.
