" Every year, Earth, and the
Solar System with it, move some 500 million km (310 million miles)
from where they were the previous year. It has been calculated that
even the slightest deviation from celestial bodies' paths could have
drastic consequences which might spell the end of the entire system.
For example, the consequences of the Earth's deviating from its course
by a mere 3 mm have been described in one source as follows:
While rotating around the sun, the earth follows such an orbit that, every
18 miles, it only deviates 2.8 millimetres from a direct course. The orbit
followed by the earth never changes, because even a deviation of 3 millimetres
would cause catastrophic disasters: If the deviation were 2.5 mm
instead of 2.8 mm, then the orbit would be very large, and all of us would
freeze. If the deviation were 3.1 mm, we would be scorched to death. "
