How does the result of the simulation compare with the width of the Sun's CHZ given in the background information?
I'm having problems with this one question above.

Q1. How does the result of the simulation compare with the width of the Sun's CHZ given in the background information?
Answer:
Q2. Using the data in the table, what general conclusion can be made regarding the location of the CHZ for different types of stars?
Answer: The star mass is directly affected on CHZ when we reduce the star mass. The habitable zone moves closer to the sun, and when we increase the star mass, the habitable zone move further away from the Sun.
Q3. Using the data in the table, what general conclusion can be made regarding the width of the CHZ for different types of stars?
Answer: The lower he star mass, the width of CHZ is less, and the higher the star mas, the width increases.
