    It would be way too hot!! Everything on Earth has evolved to survive in our particular climate – being closer to the sun would cook everything!!

    nope. Life on our planet has evolved within the position of our planet in the solar system. Even small changes in temperature can result in mass extinctions. So a huge change like that would wipe out life on Earth.

    No, we would be sooo dead right now!! 🙂 You’re talking about temperatures around 400-500 degrees celsius — about double that of your average oven heat.
