If the Sun is able to keep Earth warm while being millions of miles away, shouldn’t it get warmer and warmer the closer you get to it (like when you go to space)? Like how it would get warmer if you were to approach a burning house for example?

*Things* can have a temperature. *Nothing* can’t have a temperature because…I mean…it’s nothing.
If there’s a *thing* near the sun, that thing will be warmed up on the side facing the sun. The space inbetween the sun and the thing is *nothing*, so there is nothing inbetween to warm up.
If *you* approach the sun, you will indeed feel warmer and warmer the closer you get. But there would still be nothing inbetween you and the sun, and the nothing would have no temperature.
