I know that another planet sharing Earth's orbit would eventually put both objects into unstable orbits, possibly in a matter of mere years.
But I'm interested in a specific scenario, if Venus were placed in Earth's exact orbit, on the opposite side of the sun, but moving at a higher velocity (in effect “catching up” to Earth) then;
A) At what distance would adverse effects (major and minor) be felt on the two planets?
B) What would these specific effects be?
C) At what stage would the Earth become really unliveable?
Thanks in advance.
