Temperature affects the rate of chemical reactions.

Complex biological pathways result in more or less of particular hormones being produced at different temperatures. This is useful in cold-blooded organisms, because if the chemistry of some biological function tends to shut down beyond a particular temperature threshold, the organism can incorporate other biological systems that kick in to replace it.

The advantage of having offspring's sex affected in such a way is open to discussion.

When something like a planet is orbiting a massive object in a vacuum, the planet is moving sideways at the same time as falling into the massive object, so it keeps missing. The smaller inner planets are moving sideways much faster than the outer planets, so they continue to miss the sun.

That sideways motion combined with the gravitational pull towards the sun results in an elliptical orbit.
