It's nothing to do with climate change. No "falling down the drain". It's orbital mechanics. Keplar, Newton et al derived the laws involved. It all predates the current post-fact age, of which you appear to be an apostle, by some significant time.Zynerji wrote: ↑30 Jun 2018, 18:31Sounds like magic. Just like the rest of climate change.Just_a_fan wrote: ↑30 Jun 2018, 15:08Go look up tidal acceleration of planets etc. The tidal effect between the Sun and Earth results in a reduction of the Earth's spinning angular momentum and a transfer of that energy to the planet's orbital angular momentum. An increase in orbital angular momentum means the planet "speeds up" and so occupies an increasingly distant orbit. The effect is ridiculously slow, of course, hence why we are moving away from the Sun at about 3m in half a million years.
Suffice to say, the Earth is not "falling down the Sun's gravity well".
BTW: what happens when the earth runs out of "spinning angular momentum" from this tidal process? That right, it falls down the drain. Unless a second magic spell is cast to suspend conservation of energy laws...
If you can't be bothered to educate yourself then that's your loss. Please don't, however, go around spouting rubbish instead.
