How Do Stars Die?

Stars are like giant fireballs burning in the sky, but even they can run out of fuel. When they do, they die in different ways depending on how big they were. Small stars might just gently fade away into a tiny, cold ball called a white dwarf. Big stars explode in a supernova, creating new stars and planets from their remains. It's like a fireworks show in the universe!
