If the Earth's orbit around the Sun were shorter, that would imply it would be closer to the Sun and thus be subject to increased incident solar radiation - per the inverse square rule. For example, half the distance would be four times the amount of sunlight. This would cause the average temperature on Earth's surface to increase.

What would happen when sun near to earth by only 1km?

The core temperature of Sun is 14 million kelvin. The outermost temperature is about 6000 K. So due to this higher temperature and heat radiations from it the earth would burn definitely. May be the speed of revolution may be increased to a large value. And spinning of earth too will be terribly affected. Any way earth itself would be burnt into ashes.
