Abstract

Global warming poses a significant threat to Earth’s climate stability. This paper presents a novel approach to combat global warming through a computer simulation model that explores the possibility of altering Earth’s orbit. Using Newton’s law of gravitation and the Stefan-Boltzmann

law, we calculate the equilibrium temperature of Earth at

various distances from the Sun. Our results suggest that in-creasing Earth’s orbital radius from 1.0 AU to 1.0578 AU could potentially counteract the projected 7K temperature increase

due to global warming, albeit with significant changes to Earth’s

yearly cycle. This study provides a theoretical framework for understanding the relationship between orbital dynamics and planetary temperature, highlighting the complexity of addressing climate change through astronomical interventions.
