In the television series "cosmos" the astronomer carl sagan used to say, "we are all made of star stuff." what did he mean by that?

All of the chemical elements in our solar system were forged in an ancient star that went supernova.

Explanation:

This phrase means that the carbon, oxygen and nitrogen atoms in our bodies, as well as the other heavy elements in our solar system were created from previous stars over 4.5 billion years ago.

Star stuff got to Earth by means of a supernova explosion, which is an explosion of a massive star. This kind of stellar explosion creates a large cloud of gas and dust in space and the amount of material that the cloud is composed of depends on the type of supernova. The material from a supernova eventually disperses into interstellar space. The oldest stars consist of hydrogen and helium. Oxygen and the rest of the other heavier elements in the universe come from supernova explosions.

Therefore, stars make heavy elements and later in their lives, they eject gas into the medium between stars so it can be part of subsequent stars, planets and eventually people.

wind moving at higher speeds will transfer more energy to the water, resulting in stronger waves.
