The greenhouse effect keeps the earth warm enough for life. It is the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming. Global warming is causing climate change which will mean rising temperatures and sea levels, changes in rainfall patterns disrupting agriculture, drought and famines in Africa, and many other serious effects.
The distance from the sun affects a planet's climate primarily by influencing the amount of solar energy received. Planets closer to the sun receive more energy, leading to higher temperatures, while planets farther away receive less energy, resulting in colder temperatures. This can affect factors such as the presence of liquid water and the overall habitability of a planet.
The sun's energy is the primary driver of Earth's climate. It heats the atmosphere, creating wind patterns and driving the water cycle. Variations in solar radiation received by different regions of the Earth lead to differences in temperature, which ultimately influence climate patterns such as rainfall and seasonality.
The sun is a major factor affecting the world's climate as it provides the energy that drives Earth's climate system. However, other factors such as greenhouse gas concentrations, volcanic activity, and ocean currents also play significant roles in shaping the climate.
The sun is the source of most of the energy that drives the biological and physical processes in the world around us-in oceans and on land it fuels plant growth that forms the base of the food chain, and in the atmosphere it warms air which drives our weather. The rate of energy coming from the sun changes slightly day to day. Over many millennia in the Earth-Sun orbital relationship can change the geographical distribution of the sun's energy over the Earth's surface. It has been suggested that changes in solar output might affect our climate-both directly, by changing the rate of solar heating of the Earth and atmosphere, and indirectly, by changing cloud forming processes.

In the words of bekey "As the sun spot activity increases, the Earth tends to warm up. Conversely as sun spot decreases the Earth tends to cool a bit."

The site location of a home can affect its energy use because of factors like climate, sun exposure, and proximity to urban areas. A home in a colder climate may require more heating, while a home in a hotter climate may require more cooling. Additionally, a home with good sun exposure and natural insulation may require less energy for heating and cooling.
Solar energy, i.e., the energy from the Sun.
Plants -- all of them -- harness the energy from the sun.
