Where do the sun live: Milky Way galaxy, in a solar system at the edge of one of the galaxy's spiral arms

when was the sun born: 4 billion years ago

where is it in the life cycle: The sun is 4 billion years old and it will live for 10 billion years total at which point it will turn into a red giant and burn the earth and other close planets to a crisp http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Sun_Life.png

what attract other object to this star: gravity

and why will these objects not leave the star alone: lol, gravity

The sun was created out of a disk of dust and gas about 4.5 billion years ago. Its in middle age, will continue as it is now for about another 5 billion years, when it will expand to a red giant.
Objects are attracted to any object with mass by gravity, and since the sun is the most massive object in our solar system, its gravity controls the orbits of all the objects in the solar system.

When you ask why the objects won't leave the sun alone, then I think you're completely unaware of the laws of physics and you really should do some reading. The sun and all the objects in the solar system are not thinking beings, they don't do anything with intent. They are all governed by the law of gravity and nothing else.

The sun doesn't 'live' anywhere. It just exists where it is.

The sun was born in a nebula ( a cloud of hydorgen and helium gass). Most probobly, shortly after the big bang. there is often an anomoly that causes the gas to collapse, eg. a supernova. As the gas collapses by gravitational forces, the particales accelerate towards each other. As the speed increases so does the temperature, and when things get hot they emit light. The hydrogen and helium at the core of the sun undergo nuclear reactions (nuclear fusion....turning hydrotgen atoms into helium atoms...this releases huge amounts of energy). it is this reaction that keeps our start burning.

As for the planets, they began pretty similarly to the sun, however the never reached the large size. They orbit the sun and are held there, again by its gravitatinal pull. They never got close enough to be pulled directly into the sun, instead they swing around it. Comets are the same, but their orbits are more eliptical, as oposed to circular (like the planets).

I sun is in the middle of its life cycle. Often referred to as the 'main sequence'.

The sun lives in at the edge of the Orion arm of the Milky Way galaxy, it was born about 4.5 billion years ago, and it is still on the main sequence. (Currently a G2V star) The star attracts other bodies by its massive gravity field and they will not leave this system unless another closer, or greater gravity field breaks them loose from their orbit around the sun.

The sun's family of planets, moons, asteroids, comets and meteoroids are simply leftovers from when the sun was formed from a great cloud of dust and gas 4.5 billion years ago. They are all gravitationally bound to the sun, as gravity effects everything in the universe to a greater of lesser extent, depending on the separation and size of matter.

The sun is reckoned to be much less than halfway through its life, so it has billions of years to go.

The sun is 1000 times larger than all its family put together.

But the sun is just one of billions of stars in the Milky Way galaxy. Many of those stars have their own family of planets, but they are too far away from us for us to see whether they have life of any kind.

The question about 'Where do the sun live, when was the sun born' is more related to mythology than science. Mythology
is a part of religions and humans.

During 1800s, Anthropologists had a problem as to how
to classify human beings. One researcher proposed the
expression "intelligent animal". After advanced studies
on monkeys, it was dropped. Another researcher proposed
"tool using animal". After observing some animals
making wooden tools and sharpening them with knife like
stones, it was dropped. Another researcher proposed
"weapon using animal". A decade ago, a rare film was
shot in African forests. One short monkey was hit very
badly by a big monkey. The short monkey prepared a
wooden knife using stones and hid it on the top of a
tree. After some days, when the big monkey came to
attack the short monkey, it ran up to the tree for the
weapon it has hid and killed the big monkey. The one
thing that the anthropologists found with any group of
human beings, even if they did not have contacts with
the out side world for thousands of years, is
spirituality with some form of religion. So, man is a
"spiritual animal" if you want to call him that way.

The Upanishads say that "Manush" (human) was so named
because he has "Manas" a mind higher than that of the
animals which realises the divinity in creation. It was
present since the creation of human beings. Religion is
the characteristic feature of most of the human beings.
It is as eternal and and as unchanging as the Almighty.
Disbelief by a few will not affect it.
