the sun is much closer to earth than the other stars.
No. The moon reflects the sun's light and the earth is heated and lite by the sun.
The sun is the only star that is close enough to Earth to provide significant heat and light because of its proximity. Other stars are much farther away, and their light does not reach us with the same intensity. Additionally, the unique composition and size of the sun make it a suitable source of heat and light for Earth.
The layer in which the Earth receives the most energy is the photosphere
The moon does not radiate any heat or light of its own, it merely reflects the sun's heat and light. But since the moon is many times smaller than the sun, it only receives a small fraction of the heat and light -- and much less when it is in the shadow of the earth. However, most of the heat and light striking the moon is absorbed by the moon itself, or is reflected into space, thus there's very little reflected back to earth.
Earth does radiate light in the form of thermal radiation, which is emitted as heat energy. This radiation is typically in the infrared range and is a result of the Earth's surface absorbing sunlight and then re-emitting it as heat.

The planet that gives off its own heat and light is Earth. It receives light from the Sun and reflects some of it back into space. Earth also generates heat internally from radioactive decay and geothermal processes.

The Equator receives the most heat energy
The process that Earth receives heat from the sun is called radiation.
light and heat
Earth gets heat and light from the Sun. It's heat also comes from the Earth's core.
The earth receives heat from the sun as radiation
The Earth mainly receives energy Radiated by the Sun.
