Abstract

This study proposes a novel evolutionary trajectory for the Solar System, positing that Earth is progressively transitioning toward a Mars-like state driven by solar contraction and energy particle dynamics. By analyzing the 15 cm annual orbital recession of Earth as a corollary of solar mass loss and physical shrinkage, we demonstrate a mechanistic link between solar decay and planetary aging. The hypothesis details how the diminishing influx of solar energy accelerates planetary core contraction and increases rotational velocity, while simultaneously weakening the magnetosphere—a process currently observable in Mars. By reconstructing the lifecycle of outer planets and the origin of asteroid belts, this paper provides a deterministic framework for Earth’s long-term transformation, offering a new paradigm for understanding the sequential aging of planets in our cosmic neighborhood.
