Describe the role of distance from the sun in making earth a habitable planet.

Distance from the sun plays a major role in making earth a habitable planet as-

1. The earth is at an optimum distance from the sun. Hence, it is neither too hot nor too cold.

2. The distance between the earth and the sun makes life possible on earth. If it was closer to the sun, any life present would get burnt from too much heat of the sun. If it was farther from the sun, life would freeze because of lack of heat.
