Here's an example of how your star() function could be rewritten.
Note that it does not exactly do what it does in your example regarding the
start and end position of the turtle.
So use it for inspiration only ;)
from turtle import *
from math import sin, sqrt, radians
def star(width):
R = (width)/(2*sin(radians(72)))
A = (2*width)/(3+sqrt(5))
# record the initial position
position = getturtle().pos()
heading = getturtle().heading()
penup()
left(36) # initial angle
forward(R)
pendown()
for arms in range(5):
left(144)
forward(A)
right(72)
forward(A)
penup()
# go back to the initial position
getturtle().setpos(position)
getturtle().setheading(heading)
showturtle()
clear()
star(50)
