OK!! Everybody pay attention!

2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

You were good up until number 5.
The entire issue here is thermodynamics. You can construct and experiment that accurately mirrors the solar system along the lines of steps 1-4. Get a box, cut a small hole at the top and shove an incandescent bulb through it. Put eight rocks at varying distances from the bulb. Measure the temps on the rocks.
All of the energy within each of the rocks that is stored can only be transferred, and as time increases, the energy remaining in those rocks approaches zero.
No new energy, save for the Sun’s energy, is being added to any of the rocks.
As for using relative size to determine how much damage you can do to a system, consider the size of a virus and how much damage it can do to a human.
