We are approximately 93,000 million miles away from the Sun. I've read that if our orbit were a few million miles closer or a few million miles farther away....well, we wouldn't be here chatting about anything.
Our luxury of speculation is not necessarily unique in the universe but it is special for the time being.

93 million — 93,000 million would be 93 billion. :’)
Earth’s unique — just like every other planet.
