Is our weather influenced by the Earth's position in space?

Little is said about the Earth's position is space and how we are currently affected by this.    Concern about the power of black holes is also food for thought.

Astronomers are closing in on the proof they’ve sought for years that one of the most destructive objects in the universe - a super massive black hole - lurks at the center of our own galaxy. Could it flare up and consume our entire galactic neighborhood?

Many think that we should have a greater awareness of the solar system in relation to our planet.
