Detailed explanation-1: -Likewise, the orbit of Mars in Earth’s position would fluctuate greatly from near to far from the Sun. Out of the inner planets, only Earth and Venus would be able to retain a somewhat stable orbit in their positions.
Detailed explanation-2: -Moving Mars, for example, to an orbit closer to the Sun would require decreasing its kinetic energy enormously – perhaps by shunting large asteroids into close encounters with it. This would likely take many centuries or millennia to complete, and would require huge amounts of energy.
Detailed explanation-3: -In orbit, Mars is about 50 million miles farther away from the Sun than Earth. That means it gets a lot less light and heat to keep it warm. Mars also has a hard time holding onto the heat it does get. On Earth, much of the sun’s heat gets trapped in our atmosphere, which acts like a blanket to keep our planet warm.
