It doesn't - our Sun is an average star doing what stars do - fuse hydrogen into helium giving up heat in the process.

One could argue that our Sun is the only star with planets that have life on, at least one of them - at the moment this is true, but that's only because we haven't searched very far - yet. In all probability, we are not the only living organisms in the Universe.

Also, our Sun is fairly unique as it is not part of a multiple star system, binary, triple etc. (50% of all stars fall into this category). However, our Sun falls into the other 50% that are single stars so it's not unique in that aspect.

Our Sun is an average star (Cosmologically) in the Suburbs of the Galaxy.

== == Our Sun is approximately half way through its main sequence stage. It will now start to increase in temperature, until in about a billion years time, life on Earth will have to change to deal with this increase. In approximately 5 billion years, the supply of hydrogen would have run out and our Sun will evolve into a red giant, In about a billion years after that, it will throw off it's outer layers and evolve into a white dwarf.

A supergiant is much bigger than the Sun - up to hundreds of times the diameter. Since the volume increases with the third power of the diameter, the volume of a supergiant can be millions of times larger than that of the Sun, while its density can be millions of times less, since the total mass is, at the most, just a few times more than that of the Sun. This refers to the average density; at the core, the star can still have a high density. A supergiant emits a lot of light; it will remain in the supergiant state for only a short time, a few million years at the most.
