Best Answer

Because the Sun is the primary source of all energy in the Solar System.

The effective surface temperature of the Sun is 5,778 Kelvin

Energy received by Earth will be radiated back into space, both during the day and at night. The average temperature on Earth is such, that the amount of radiation received, and the amount of radiation emitted, is in equilibrium (on average).
