The Sun was born from particles and gas from earlier stars?!

Stars are born in nebulosas right?
How come the sun is made out of mostly the two easiest materials in the world then?

Shouldnt them earlier stars have fused all that hydrogen and helium allready?

Then I suppose our Sun is a first generation star born from the same stuff them old stars are?

HUMMM btw captcha: darkness omg talking bout the sun.

Photons have no mass. So if I take all photons in the whole damn universe they all fit inside my fridge and the fridge will weigh the same as before them photons were there?

Almost everything in this universe is made out of left over stardust from earlier stars. Even people.

Yahweh would be pissed, we contained him not in a jewel box, but a fridge.

Only a small amount of the H and He in a sun are ever fused. Once a helium fusion reaction begins huge pulsations build up and eventually give the outer layers of the star enough kinetic energy to be ejected.

Also, our sun is largely composed of hydrogen from the Big Bang, not leftovers from younger stars.

So the sun just waited alot longer to finally burst into life than the galaxy elders?

The gases simply didn't come together until 4.5 billion years ago when the sun formed.
