Best Answer

The nuclei of atoms that compose our bodies were once parts of stars. All nuclei beyond iron in atomic number, were in fact manufactured in supernovae.

Are the rings around Saturn star dust or something else?

Everything in the Solar System is star dust in the sense that it came from the interiors of stars that aged and died before our sun formed. However, the rings of Saturn are chunks of rocks and ice, and in that sense are not dust at all.

Does a star turn into dust?

At the end of it's life, a star does turn into dust, it's a bit more complicated but when a star ends it's life, much of it's matter is expelled back into the universe in small particles (dust for this question) which is used for "other things". A cosmic recycling. We are, as the quote goes "We are all star stuff" and we are. Without the stars ending their lives, we would not be here to ask this question.

Where did all the silicon in the Earth come from?

Silicon is an element, and was created in a star by fusion processes. Elements up to the mass of iron may be made in a star like our sun. For heavier elements, the energies found in a supernova are needed. Therefore, all of you comes from a star!!! Earth formed by accretion from bits of rubble that began as the gas & dust clouds of ancient supernovas.

Is a solar system only made of planets?

Our star is named 'Sol', so the star system is called 'The Solar System', and it is composed of Sol and all the bodies of matter which orbit it, which include planets, dwarf planets, asteroid belts, comets and other formations (particles and dust). A star system is composed of the star itself, and whatever matter orbit it, or simply the star itself if it has no satellites or stellar medium.
