Detailed explanation-1: -Answer. Explanation: Well, it would become to cold, as we won’t receive sufficient heat from the the sun due to the huge gap.
Detailed explanation-2: -The UCR scientists found that if Jupiter was much closer to the sun than its current distance of around 461 million miles (742 million kilometers) it could cause extreme tilting on Earth.
Detailed explanation-3: -The other Galilean moons would get out of sync and change their orbits over time. Tides would be severe on Earth, not just limited to oceans, but also for “solid” ground, as long as Earth isn’t tidally locked. This would result in severe earth quakes and volcanism. Our days would be dim due to the distance to the sun.
Detailed explanation-4: -The closer you are to the sun, the hotter the climate. Even a small move closer to the sun could have a huge impact. That’s because warming would cause glaciers to melt, raising sea levels and flooding most of the planet. Without land to absorb some of the sun’s heat, temperatures on Earth would continue to rise.
Detailed explanation-5: -Without Jupiter, the Earth would be pummeled by impacts from asteroids and comets, rendering our planet utterly uninhabitable.
Detailed explanation-6: -While Jupiter often protects Earth and the other inner planets by deflecting comets and asteroids, sometimes it sends objects on a collision course straight toward the inner planets.
Detailed explanation-7: -Being the biggest planet in the solar system, Jupiter has more than ten times the diameter of planet earth. In terms of mass, it is 300 times heavier. Moreover, Jupiter has 100 times more surface area than earth. It also has 1, 000 times greater volume than the latter.
