      Stars come in loads of different sizes – some of them are 10000% more powerful than the Sun!!! If the Earth was orbiting a much bigger star at the same distance, it would certainly be way too hot for us to survive on! But if the Earth was further away from a big star, far enough that liquid water could exist, than I reckon we’d be fine 🙂 It all comes down to liquid water!
