Instead of doing this which would be costly, we can just have everyone on the daytime side of the earth jump really hard over and over and it will propel the earth away from the sun
For the knife idea, I believe cutco makes some quality stuff I bet with a big enough commission they would work with NASA to provide the means to accomplish this
Something like this ^^^ Rather than make the journey to the sun, which would be kind of hot, why don't we just alter the Earth's orbit a lil further away from it, but not too far now. Brrrr.

And if not cut it in half, maybe cut smaller pieces from it? I was thinking it might be a solution to climate change? And maybe there is a way of blowing the bits you cut off to other parts of the solar system to heat up planets like Mars, or even the moon, so we can habitat them?
I assume this is just trolling, but I still want to answer it since I'm pretty awesome.
Large astronomical objects like stars and planets are not held together by chemistry (positive and negative charges), as is the case for objects like apples, but by gravity (i.e., mass).
A star is a hot gas forced into a roughly spherical shape by gravity with a radius that is a function of its mass and temperature, i.e., its gravity tries to compress it and its thermodynamic properties tries to expand it.
So, what's this mean? It means if you were to partition a star into multiple parts and separate them by some relatively small distance, each part would expand (due to gravity and outward thermodynamic pressure no longer being in equilibrium) and each part would also be attracted to every other part, thus gravity would force it back into a sphere. It would quickly evolve towards its previous equilibrium state, e.g., it would have the same radius as it had previous to the partitioning.
Dude, that was far out! Totally narley!
