Absolutely. There is a relatively small toroidal volume of space ("toroidal" = "doughnut-shaped") around a star that is considered the habitable zone for life "as we know it". Too close to the star, and it will be too hot, like Venus; too far away and you are too cold, like Mars.
Of course, there could be life that is so unlike ours that we'll have a hard time recognizing it, and that "other life" may have completely different ideas about what kind of environment would be ideal.

What two factors affect a planets revolution?
Two factors that affect a planets revolution are distance from the sun and size.
How does the planets distance from the sun affect the length of a day?
Not at all. The planet's daily rotation is independent of its distance from the Sun.
How does the planets distance from the sun affect its conditions?
The farther away from the sun the planet is, the more space it has to cover. Therefore, the planets distance from the sun whereas, if i am half the distance from Earth/Sun, that planet will get more energy. But if I am twice the distance from Earth/Sun, I will receive less energy.
Why do planets differ in their temperature?
The main factor that affect their temperature are... their proximity to the sun - and their speed of rotation.
Does the distance from the sun affect the earth's temperature?
Because of the Earths atmosphere, the distance from the Sun, does not affect the temperature on the surface of the Earth. In the northern hemisphere, we are closer to the Sun in winter and the furthest away in summer.

What is the relation of the planet's temperature to it's distance?
if you are asking "what is the relation of the planet's temperature to it's distance from the sun" then the answer is: Planets closer to the sun tend to be warmer than planets further from the sun.
How does the of the planet temperature vary with the distance from the Sun?
Roughly speaking, as you go farther away from the Sun, planets get colder.
How does the distance of a planet from the sun affect the temperature?
the further away you are from the sun the colder the place is.
Does a planet's distance from the sun affect it's density?
Very generally, the outer four planets are less dense than the four inner rocky planets, but it's more to do with planet type rather than their distance from the sun.
How does the distance of the sun affect the velocity of a planet?
From Kepler's laws it can be shown that the orbital speeds of the planets are proportional to the inverse square root of their distances from the Sun. Thus a planets at four times the distance would travel at half the speed.
What affect does the sun have on one of your planets?
the affect is 90 between two planets
