Stars are like giant fireworks, but not all of them explode when they die. Some just cool down and become quiet little bulbs in the sky. Imagine a firework that goes poof, that's a supernova. But if it just fades out slowly, like a candle going out, that’s what scientists call star death.
Examples
- A small star slowly cools down like a dying candle.
- A big star explodes into space like a firework.
- Stars of different sizes can have very different endings.
