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?

It’s kinda like how a car’s surface becomes extremely hot when under sunlight, while the air around the car isn’t as hot. Air is less dense than the car’s metal, so it doesn’t catch as much of the Sun’s energy. There is even less matter in space, almost none actually, so it catches even less heat.
