A main sequence star burns hydrogen to helium. Once a main sequence star exhausts all of the hydrogen, it begins to expand and burn helium causing if to become a red giant.

Why does all energy on earth start with the sun?
Good question. Since the Sun is our primary power source, it is the first step in analyzing where the energy from something comes from. Let's look at a nice T-bone steak for example. So on a bright, sunny day, the Sun is shining down on some grass. The grass grows enough and then the cattle farmer lets his heard out to graze. So the cow takes in the grass which was already taking in energy from the Sun. The cow will continue to do this, gathering food from the grass and therefore, energy from the Sun. The next step is a consumer buying the meat at a grocery store. When you cook and eat the steak, you will be consuming food in the form of that cow, which got its energy form the grass, which in turn got its energy from the Sun. Thus, the Sun is our source of energy for everything in our world. Everything can thus be traced back to the Sun as its primary supplier of energy.
Describe in general the life history of a star with an average mass like the Sun?
A star, the size of our sun, does not explode into a supernova. Instead, toward the end of its life, it grows over 1000 times its size into what is called a Red Giant. After that it implodes and looses mass at a quick rate reaching the white dwarf stage. After that it is a black dwarf and looses all its energy and mass.
When the light part of the moon grows bigger it is?
it is called waxing. when the lighted part of moon starts growing bigger till it becomes from a new moon to a full moon it is called waxing.
What are giant stars?
Giant Stars are a type of star on the Hertzsprung Russel Diagram called AGB or Asymptotic Giant branch stars. They are stars between about 1 or less to 8 times the mass of the sun that are nearing the end of their life. They can expand up to hundreds of times their original size. Depending on their luminosity, they are marked by a roman numeral 2 or 3 (II or III) in their spectral types. They range in color from red to blue. Our sun will be a red giant when it grows up in 5 billion years.
What is the other benefit of solar energy to man animals and plants?
What is the 1st benefit? What is the context? One benefit is that solar energy feeds all life starting with plants. The sun's photons are captured by plants to combine air (carbon dioxide) and water to make more plant carbon mass as the plant grows. Animals eat this.
What grows due to energy from the sun?
Plants, from algae to Giant Redwoods, get their energy from the Sun.
What happens to stars after it reaches super giant?
It will goes super in heat which mostly going to become supernova and it grows hotter by seconds then it becomes a black hole with extreme heat energy.
Is food a non- renewable source of energy?
No Food under normal circumstances is a renewable source of energy. Food is the result of plants getting energy from the sun and converting this energy into storage. the plants can the be eaten and the energy used. The plant however puts out seed and grows again renewing itself as a source of energy.

Since matter can not be destroyed but converted to energy new energy destroys hydogen what then is the renewable source of hydrogen?
There isn't any ... when it's all used up then the universe grows cold and dead.
The source of all energy?
The sun. It grows the grass the animals eat. The grass transfers some of its energy to the animal. Then, when we eat the animal, it transfers energy to us. Even then the sun is not the source of ALL energy. Volcanoes and tectonic forces on Earth are driven by heat derived from the radioactive decay of Uranium and Thorium in the Earth's inner layers.
Where do panda bears go in hibernation?
Giant pandas actually do not hibernate like other bears. Their primary food source, bamboo, grows all year-round, so they do not need to hibernate.
