    Temperature itself does not affect the speed of light - remember that space is freezing cold, and light moves through it just fine. So warmer temperatures don’t do anything with time.

    If earth suddenly gained a bunch of mass, that would change things up as gravity would increase. However, we wouldn’t really notice, as everything would speed up more or less the same. We’d have to compare ourselves to someone in a system where time moves differently in order to notice.
