The sun is far away from earth, yes, but it is at the right distance to keep the earth warm (through the natural greenhouse effect). If we were closer, then the earth would be much warmer (and humans may not have evolved in the same way, or at all!).

How far out in space is the Sun?
The sun is 8 light minutes away from earth, or 15 billion kilometers away from earth, in the middle of our solar system which the earth is orbiting, not the sun orbiting the earth. The previous answer said that beyond mars is the deepest part of space. This is 100% wrong. Although after mars is already the asteroid belt and after it is already the outer planets of the solar system, our solar system is too tiny a fraction of space than you can imagine.
