I'm not one of those guys...but i swear these dudes just make shyt up as they go along. I undertand thats the discovery process, but at some point scientific fact and law got thrown in the bushes for theory and belief.
From what we know, the sun is just like any other star that will eventually turn into a red giant, engulf much of our solar system and burn out.this does not answer any of my questions. What makes you think other stars are the same as our sun?

I didn't think stars move.
the sun is a star

The Sun does revolve around the Milky Way on an almost circular orbit with a speed of about 220km/s. The Sun completes one revolution in about 230 million years. The Milky Way also moves - we are moving towards or nearest neighbour the Andromeda galaxy and both the Milky Way and Andromeda (which make up most of what we call the 'Local Group of galaxies') are moving towards the Virgo Cluster which is our nearest cluster of ga

The Sun is classified as a G-type main-sequence star (G2V) based on spectral class and it is informally designated as a yellow dwarf because its visible radiation is most intense in the yellow-green portion of the spectrum, and although its color is actually a white, from the surface of the Earth it may appear yellow because of atmospheric scattering of blue light.
The Sun is the best known (and most visible) example of a G-type main-sequence star. Each second, it fuses approximately 600 million tons of hydrogen to helium, converting about 4 million tons ofmatter to energy.[3][4] Besides the Sun, other well-known examples of G-type main-sequence stars include Alpha Centauri A, Tau Ceti, and 51 Pegasi.
