Hello, Great scientists of the world.
I am writing a religio-scientic thesis that borders on this question and more. Kindly give me a thorough scientific answer and brighten my day. Thanks

Up or down? Do you mean closer and farther from the Earth?? Or do you mean above and below the orbital plane? Your question is not very well posed.
In any case, a difference of 100 meters will have absolutely no effect. In fact, during the summer in the northern hemisphere, the Earth is actually a few million kilometers farther away from the sun than during the northern winter! Yes, farther!

What kind of thesis are you writing? This doesn't seem like a very scientific question. But to give you an answer, nothing would change. The positioning of the sun varies by that much and more each year.

Despite the extremely poor wording of your question, it can still be said that any 100-meter change involving the sun will have no effect whatsoever on the Earth. You're talking an object 1.5 million kilometers miles in diameter located 150 million kilometers away.
You asked us to brighten your day...but I'm sorry to say that it is you that will have to enlighten us with a coherently stated explanation of your question.

The sun's diameter is 865,000 miles.
The difference in orbital distance from the sun varies. At aphelion, Earth is about 3.1 million miles farther away from the Sun than at perihelion.
What difference is 100 meters going to make? None!

religion and science? since when do they go hand and hand?
Also, the above is right, the Sun is huge, 100 meters is nothing, and also up or down relative to what? Earth's orbital plane? Mars'? Jupiters'?
Before you go writing a "thesis", I'd hit up a library not yahoo! answers.

Absolutely nothing, the sun varies by that much in size already. It's 1.4 million km across, 100 meters is completely irrelevant.

I cannot give a scientific answer to this type of none scientific question.
Start by asking "what is up and down"

Thats not a very scientific question.

ehhh the earth is turning around the sun.... you think it doesn't come closer?? duuhh of course...
Absolutely nothing will happen... we even won't notice it...

All sardines will perish. Aside from that, nothing.
