Our sun is a star, and it helps us by giving us light and energy. There would be no life on Earth with out the sun. We do not depend on other stars for light and energy, but the other stars help inspire us with wonder about the vastness of the universe. Everything on Earth is made of atoms that were created billions of years ago in stars that are now dead. So, we are made of "star stuff".
