Final answer:

If Earth were twice as massive, its orbit around the Sun would not change.


Explanation:

The orbit would not change at all. When considering a change in Earth's mass, its orbit around the Sun would not be altered because the mass of the Earth does not affect the shape of its orbit or the position of the Sun within that orbit.
