fun fact, the sun doesnt heat the earth, but the earth heats itself. the sun just gives energy to the earth, and warmth, but the earth heats itself, using the greenhouse effect. just learned this in geography

Wrong!
I would tell your college you want a refund and get a library card and save some money and learn something and save some money at the same time.

beardo, only 45% of the sun's light actually reaches the earth. the earth absorbs it, converts it, and releases it back out as the earth's own energy, not the suns

Scotland was a completely separated land mass from England in the days of Pangaea. They collided millions of years ago, and stuck together ever since, but their geological composition is totally different.

By conservative estimates, the population of the United states prior to European contact was greater than 12 million. Four centuries later, the count was reduced by 95% to 237 thousand.

Because of the Sun the Earth is a much higher tempature than it would be if there were no Sun and much warmer than it will be once the Sun burns out.
The Sun Warms The Earth.
And how is this geography? Definatly ask your college about a refund- Go to the public library and read some books don't waste your money.

Fun Fact
IBM made the catalog system for the Nazis so they could keep track of who the Jews were and make it easy to round them up and they made the system where they got the IBM numbers tattooed on them so they could keep track of them- This was very profitable, i'm sure there investors were pleased with there return.

the sun does heat the earth, because if what your saying is true, if the earth just for some reason started floating off of its orbit into the outer solar system parts such as mars or not even that far, the temperature dramatically. not instantly but i put every dollar i have that everything would start freezing within the first week and everything would die in the first month. all but the microorganisms and such that live sub-surface. the ocean may stay liquid down deep due to the earths core, but without the suns gravity to keep the earths core in a continuous flow, all will cease.
