The Sun, evolution as a star, and presence in its life cycle
Not what you're looking for?
I have been waiting for any form of assistance for days now. I have revised the deadline for two days with no avail. My clock is running out & I have nothing but more confusion from trying to research extensively on the internet. Is there anyone who can help me? My paper is due in a few hours and I am really struggling with the Sun and its life cycle presence. I do not understand how the answer can be the same if the Sun is constantly rotating or being rotated by the Earth/Moon.
The Sun is a star. Briefly outline the evolution of a star and where the Sun is in its life cycle.
My confusion is does the question expect a response to the Sun's current existence in its life cycle or in general. Wouldn't it's current place in its life cycle depend on when I write the answer as it continually orbits the Earth? Also, if the Sun is a Star, then I must not understand the correct definition of a star because I thought the Sun and Moon orbited the earth and although not planets, I wasn't aware they were stars either.
Any thoughts or direction to assist on this question? I have to write a 300 word paper discussing the topic. Any external references for additional research would be appreciated as well.
