1. When the hydrogen in a star runs out, the star can’t do nuclear fusion like before. The star expands and turns into a red giant.

   After that, it shrinks because of gravity. If it’s a smaller star like the Sun, it becomes a white dwarf.

   If it’s a much bigger star, it can explode in a supernova, throwing out dust and gas into space.

   What’s left behind could be a neutron star, or if the star was really massive, it could turn into a black hole.
