"The Earth is roughly an average 9.3 billion miles from the sun"

Your decimal point is drifting dangerously in the wrong direction!

That’s what I get for not looking it up and trusting my memory. 93 million miles is the correct so I was off by two orders of magnitude. The point still stands- if the sun expands its influence several orders of magnitude faster than the earth moves away eventually the earth gets charred.
