The sun may have started from the nebula of our solar system. The nebula was mostly made of dust and gasses, and slowly condensed most of it's materials to one area, and eventually, pressure was great enough that nuclear fission could occur. Nuclear fission is a continuing explosion that provides the sun with energy, and light. That's how the sun was formed!
~The rest of the material of the nebula formed the rest of the planets in the solar system.
Astronomers think the Sun started out like all other stars: A star birth nebula, a massive stellar gas cloud that growing stars absorb with their gravity to fuel the nuclear reaction in their cores. So basically, the Sun is a giant swirling ball of gas, but more specifically, the Sun is a star in the classification of a Yellow Dwarf, which really isn't that large of a star, as a matter of fact, compared to VY Canis Majoris, a star in the classification of a red giant, and the biggest known star in the universe, the Sun is approximately 2,800 times SMALLER than VY Canis Majoris.
No.
Astronomers use special filters to observe the sun because the sun emits high-intensity light that can damage the eyes and sensitive equipment. These filters help to reduce the brightness of the sun and allow astronomers to safely study its features, such as sunspots and solar flares.

Aristarchus of Samos influenced later astronomers by proposing a heliocentric model of the universe, where the Sun, not the Earth, was at the center. His ideas laid the foundation for the work of astronomers like Copernicus and Galileo.
Astronomers think the sun will die in 2012
I think that it started out as a star just like any other and then it gathered energy and grew larger over trillions of years before dinosours, or something. hope it helped!

Parallax is the method that astronomers use to measure the distance from the sun to the earth.
Today's astronomers inherit the benefit of literally centuries of measurements with ever greater accuracy and precision. Standing as they do on the shoulders of giants, they have begun to perceive a true sense of the huge ginormity of the sun and its dimensions, and are coming to recognize that the sun is so gigantic that it has never been lost.
at first there was a very big cloud of hydrogen then, because of the gravity, the cloud started to get smaller and smaller, the hydrogen particles got closer and some time later, the pressure got so, huge that a nuclear fushion process became and the hydrogen started to turn into helium
No.
For two or three hundred years, astronomers have had a fair idea the the Sun is not the center of the Universe.
Astronomers can predict eclipses because they understand the movements of the Earth, Moon, and Sun in space. By tracking their positions and orbits, astronomers can calculate when the Moon will pass in front of the Sun (solar eclipse) or when the Earth will pass between the Sun and the Moon (lunar eclipse). This knowledge allows astronomers to forecast eclipses with accuracy.

Our Sun is only important TO US. Other than the fact that we live here on Earth and are pretty much dependent on it, there isn't anything special about the Sun. It's a little larger than the average, but not spectacularly so. (Astronomers used to think that our Sun was in the middle of the range of stars, until we started discovering so many tiny and dim stars in the Galaxy.)
Astronomers study celestial bodies, helio astronomers specifically study suns.
