Eugene is getting entirely too much hate in this thread. A sufficiently powerful bomb detonated in the location he suggests might indeed cause the earth to fall into the sun.
The only issue is that the bomb needs to be equivalent to 6.3285*10^17 megatons of TNT(yes, I looked this up) which is a smidge bigger than the largest nuke ever tested.
But since the Hbomb was a new invention, they didn’t know how big it was going to be.
A better idea would be to launch it behind the earth to give us a boost in speed, increasing our orbit, so that we'd be further away from the sun, in order to counteract global warming
Eugene understands physics, Jack
Eugene dropping knowledge into the sun

So in summary, step off of my man Eugene.
