What Happens to Stars When They Die?

Stars are like big, bright fireballs. When they're young and full of energy, they shine really brightly in the sky. But as time passes, stars use up all their fuel, just like how a candle burns out. Once they run out of fuel, they can't keep shining forever. Some stars become neutron stars or even black holes, which are super dense and powerful.
