I have looked through other questions previously posted, and I also browsed through many websites, but I can't seem to find out the answer. I need an answer that is easy to understand. I need a straight out answer. Please dont have a long paragraph copy-and-pasted from a website. I wouldn't understand. Please make the answer as easy and understanding as possible.

The cosmic origin of most sodium is from the core of massive stars, where it is the product of the fusion of carbon. The sodium gets ejected from these massive stars when they explode as supernova. Sodium then reacts with water to form sodium ions, which condense into planets, comets etc. when they form, and then the ions dissolve into any liquid water present. However, most sodium on earth is found in the crust.

Sodium IS present in stars and planets.
It is only FOUND in nature in a combined state.
It is mostly found in the ocean and salt lakes as sodium chloride, and sometimes found as sodium carbonate and sodium sulphate.
It can also be found in the form an alloy in nuclear reactor coolant.
It can be found in Sodium hydroxide a compound of sodium which is used in the manufacture of soap, rayon and paper.
Sodium can be found in the first Row, 3rd down in the periodic table (Na)

Salt. Table salt is sodium chloride. I believe it can be isolated by dissolving the salt in water (which splits the sodium and chlorine atoms apart) then using electrolysis to capture the sodium.

It's a mineral. It is mined out of the earth. So basically it is found in the ground.
