The Sun. It's the the star that brings us light and warmth. It sits there, 92,960,000 miles away from us, allowing us to see and not freeze to death.

Our sun is a low mass Spectral type G2V star in its main sequence, about halfway through its life cycle. It was born pretty much like every other star. It developed like any other star. The sun will eventually die, as everything does, but before that, it’ll use up all its Hydrogen fuel and fade away. Nothing too spectacular. It won’t explode or turn into a Black Hole, just fade away into a white dwarf. LIfe on Earth by this time will most likely be dead, so you really don’t have anything to worry about.

The age of the sun is about 5 billion years old. (Give or take ½ a billion years.)
The Sun got its name from the Ancient Romans. The Ancient Romans named our sun Sol, meaning sunlight or light. An apt name for something that bathes the Earth in light.
