Answer:

Size and type of star

Step-by-step explanation:

A larger star will need to be further away in order to support life and reduce the radiation that could kill living organisms.

In addition, some types of stars are much hotter and put out more radiation and thermal energy, which pushes the Goldilocks Zone further back.
