Earth is part of the Solar System and as such we get nearly all our energy from the sun (sol as in solar) most air temperatures are caused by energy directly from the sun and this has a n enormous influence on the weather. The oceans are warmed more in some places then in others causing currents and making conditions for sea and land life. the suns energy resides in water vapour without it we would have no rain. Plants convert the suns energy along with certain chemicals into food that animals convert back into energy after eating it. Even the fuel in your car, coal fire, alcohol fire originally came from the sun. So the effect on the Earth is that without it there would be no life no winds air liquid water or a billion other things that we take for granted. As a mater of fact without the suns energy the Earth would not even exist.
