Stars burn by fusing hydrogen into helium in their cores through nuclear fusion. Eventually, they run out of fuel and start burning heavier elements, releasing energy and expanding into a red giant or supergiant. Depending on their mass, they can end as a white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole.
All stars 'burn' hydrogen
Shooting stars are not stars. They are bits of dirt and dust that burn up in our atmosphere. As they fly through our atmosphere they briefly look stars, which is how the names shooting or falling stars have come about, but they are not stars. Were such a piece of dirt to head toward a star, it would burn up long before it got anywhere close to it, so it could not hit it. A shooting star is usually what most call meteors and burn up in earths atmosphere giving the appearance of a falling star.
Yes, stars do eventually burn out and die, decreasing the overall number of stars in the universe. However, new stars continue to form through processes like stellar birth in nebulae, so the total number of stars in the universe remains relatively constant on a larger scale.
Shooting stars are not stars. They are bits of dirt and dust that burn up in our atmosphere, briefly making them look like stars. Most of that is debris is from comets or others bits of dirt in space, but they are not stars and were not stars. So stars do not become shooting stars.
Shooting stars are not actually stars, but rather small particles or fragments of rock and dust called meteoroids that enter Earth's atmosphere and burn up due to friction with the air. This creates the streak of light that we see in the sky.
yes because it can burn out
Constellations are imaginary patterns in the sky formed by stars. As some stars burn out, new stars form.
All main sequence stars fuse hydrogen.

Massive stars are brighter, they burn up faster, and they die younger, usually in very energetic explosions.
Because even the smallest of stars are >1000 times bigger than the Earth, stars would not burn up in our atmosphere, but instead just annihilate everything in it's path, but there's no need to worry the closest star is16.308 light-years from the Solar System, and the universe is actually expanding so no stars are going to annihilate the earth.

Gravity contracts them more, making them hotter. As a result, they burn up their fuel faster.
They're not actually "alive" in the first place, so they won't die. However, they will eventually burn out.
No. They eventually run out of fuel and die, though this takes a very long time.
Stars are made up of certain gases which burn and show off light. The sun is the closet star to earth.
Meteoroids burn up in the Mesosphere. Even though the Mesosphere is the coldest layer, the meteoroids burn up from getting too cold. Meteoroids are also more commonly known as "shooting stars".
