xkcd: Solar System Model
https://xkcd.com/2709/

Luckily for us, the Goldilocks zone is huge. Of course, Sol is very
slowly expanding and growing brighter. We may need to move Earth
further out some day unless the Rapture happens first.

Well as the Sun ages it loses mass so has less gravity to hold Earth and
the other planets in their current orbit. It is expected that the
planets will slowly migrate outwards as a results.

The question is which is faster, the Sun's expansion or the outward
drift of the planets?
