Moving the Sun Far Enough to Alter the Earth's Orbit

[WeeklyBattles]

Trying to do a calc for a feat where a character over the course of a week moves the sun closer to earth to the point of altering the planet's orbit, bu a distance that it actually moves is not given. What distance should be used?

well, whichever group of weirdo in lab coats did notice it and was looking for a weird pale man on the sun, the sun didn't get moved enough to put the earth outside the habitable zone (as they'd be dead if it were). the habitable zone is 0.9 to 1.5 astronomical units, or 134,638,083 to 224,396,806 kilometers

See thats the thing though, wouldnt the earth;s orbit be altered by the sun going closer even if they were still in the habitable zone?

Yeah, from the scan if i recall, they noticed the sun moving because the orbit was changing, not because of other factors.

despite this, i doubt they wouldn't have noticed the temperature changing. according to this the sun would need to move 0.7175% closer to make a noticeable change to the temperature of earth, or 1,076,250 kilometers. (This number is assuming the pace between the earth and sun is exactly 150 million kilometers)

NGL im lowkey wondering if i should just use the speed given in the story itself as the basis and use that to find KE...

zamn.

It also lines up weirdly consistently with the numbers you gave, as the sun would have been moved 1,415,546 km over the course of a week if moved at that speed

would this actually scale to 096, or would it be considered an outlier?

It scales via 096's AP amp
