If by the Earth seeing the Sun you mean, why can people on Earth see the Sun, it is because we have organs with which to perceive the electromagnetic radiation (some of which is light) produced by thermonuclear fusion in the core of the Sun, and because of the orientation of the Earth and its rotation, this radiation reaches us here on Earth when it's day time (when our side of the Earth is facing the Sun. The Earth's pole is tilted 24 degrees to the line perpendicular to the plane of its orbit about the Sun.
