Solution
Earth has the most ideal temperature conditions because it is neither too close nor too distant from the sun. This position in the Solar System makes it possible to receive neither excessive nor totally deficient heat from the Sun. Its average temperature surface temperature is 17 degrees Celsius for more favourable for living conditions than about 500°C on the nearest planets and about 150° to 200° Celsius below freezing point on the sunlit sides of distant planets. Earth is, thus, neither a burning furnace nor an extremely cold planet.
