Solution
As we know, the distance between the Sun and the Earth is sufficient, but still we suffer from the radiation and the temperature of the earth’s surface is high. So, if the distance between earth and sun becomes half of its current distance, there would be no life on earth as the earth will heat up soon, the water may dry up soon and the vegetation will be destroyed too.
