No. Biology is (mainly) about living things, plants and animals. A star would be astronomy.

How did they now Goldilocks is a planet?

A "Goldilocks planet" is ANY planet that orbits its star at a distance from that star where the heat from the star means that any water present on the planet is in liquid form. This can be determined by measuring the stars temperature (its size and colour) and observing the planets orbital distance.


How do you know the sun is a typical star?

Through measuring how much luminosity it is giving out, measuring the size of the star, and find out how hot the star is, we can categorize each star in a graph. Our sun just happens to be part of the main sequence of stars; the sun is not as big as a giant or a super giant star nor is it as small as a white dwarf so therefore the sun is in between. Main sequence stars are more common because they are very stable so it wont change over a long course of time, unlike variable stars, which changes its size and luminosity. A variable star has a period of a day to a month. A period is how long it takes for the star to return to its starting point as it changes in a cycle.
