Earlier I asked how one would go about cloning the Earth and I got 2 very interesting answers. GeorgieGirl said I would have to clone the orbit in order for it to work. GeorgieGirl if you're still there, do you have any ideas or have you read anything as to how one would clone the orbit in which the earth sits? This is just a wild idea I have and I'm also thinking about writing a short story surrounding this idea. Any help from anybody would be appreciated.

Read "Ringworld" by Larry Niven. He has an interesting take on the concept of "building" a planet.
Also, do an internet search for "dyson spheres"
Basically, Dyson and Niven imply that building a habitable planet is the ultimate technological goal for an advanced civilization as it would allow that civilization to survive the death of their sun.

I'm very sure that's impossible, but for science fiction purposes there are probably lots of great pseudo-science answers you can give.
It would have to be a slow process, and if you were also cloning the plants and animals that would have to be completely separate. If you're referring to 'cloning' just the planet, the rocks and the water for instance, I think it would make more sense to have the new earth formed.
It might work similarly to find an existing planet and terraform it and landscape it to be nearly identical to the current one, which would also bring up interesting points about the morality or reforming an existent world... it would save the trouble of worrying about how to synthesize an orbit.
anyway I hope that some of this helps.

A big bulldozer. (There's no such thing as "cloning" an orbit anyway, take some science classes before you write something).

the most important aspect of finding, or making any world habital by humans is , ! "WATER".......so find a planet that has water, and it is possible to terraform and such, evntual in 10 million years are bodys will adaptive to anything,!

To create 73 500 000 000 000 000 000 metric tonnes from nothing we would have to invent a transmogrifier!
