Well any dramatic, sudden change would destroy most life on earth, but a slow, gradual change life can cope with. Many species would go extinct, but new species would be spawned to take their place. The vast array of species alive now is only about 1% of the species that have ever lived. Just 70 million years ago the jungle looked truly alien.

Mammals, for instance, have certain environmental requirements, but fish, another form of life adapted to life in the ocean, have a very very different set of requirements.

Life could potentially exist in some form in almost any condition. What will kill one species will make another thrive.

But life on earth is adapted to it's current temperature (whether it's polar bears in the arctic or tube fish on volcanic heat vents).

Is the distance from the earth to the sun always the same?

No. The Earth's orbit is not a perfect circle (though it's close), and the Earth is slightly closer to the Sun some times of the year than it is others... specifically, it's a bit closer in January than it is in July. There's also a "wobble" caused by the Moon, and the Earth is very slightly nearer the Sun at full moon than it is at new moon, all else being equal.
