It is because it collapses after it has run out of "fuel".

Does a star turn into a white dwarf at the end of its life cycle?
Stars with a low to medium mass will become white dwarfs. Massive stars will become neutron stars or black holes.
What is the difference between star that become white dwarfs and stars that become neutron stars?
the simple reson is mass.......that is if the star under consideration is a heavy one, it is more likely to turn into a black hole and if it is comparatively smaller it is prone to turn into a neutron star or a white dwarf
What stars turn into white dwarfs?
Sometimes if the conditions are just right a huge diamond! (the final stage of nucleosynthesis of stars that are not more massive is carbon Theoretically, they get dimmer and dimmer until they become "black dwarfs".
Does a nebula turn into a white dwarf?
A nebula does not directly turn into a white dwarf. A nebula will collapse to form stars. Low to medium mass stars become white dwarfs after they die. Some are the result of a supernova and do not collapse, they merely dissipate over time. The Crab Nebula is the most prominent example of this.
What do White dwarf stars turn into?
Sometimes if the conditions are just right a huge diamond! (the final stage of nucleosynthesis of stars that are not more massive is carbon Theoretically, they get dimmer and dimmer until they become "black dwarfs".
How do constellations die?
they turn to white dwarfs then red giants and then they explode
Why do some stars become white dwarfs and others become neutron stars and black holes?
Actually if a star is medium or low mass is will run out of fuel and turn into a red giant, once the stars atmosphere slowly drifts away and the core is remaining it will eventually become a white dwarf For more massive stars it will turn in to a super giant the will cause a supernova, after the supernova the star can either a black hole or a neutron star
Is there such thing as a red star?
Yes. The lowest mass stars are red dwarfs while many older stars turn into red giants and red supergiants.
What is a small hot star that is near the end of its life called?
There are small hot stars - White dwarfs, neutron stars but by furtue that they are hot, means they are not near the end of their lives. It takes a long long time for all the residual heat to escape into the Universe. So, there are NO hot stars near the end of it's life.
What do stars do in their lifetime?
they live for a long time as regular sized stars then eventually they turn into red giants and explode then turning into a white dwarf
Where does lead occur?
lead is an Element, so it's rather difficult to explain. A star burns by fusing hydrogen into helium and helium into lithium and so on right up the periodic table. Useually stars get to about iron before they turn into black dwarfs or white dwarfs but larger stars that burn hotter can create heavier elements like gold and lead.
Why do some stars die out as neutron stars while others die out as black holes and white dwarfs?
It won't turn direclty into a black dwarf. Some stars will turn into a white dwarf; when the white dwarf cools down (it no longer produces energy), it will become a black dwarf. It is not likely that there are black dwarves yet, since the Universe isn't old enough; this is an expected future stage in the development of some stars. and be cause yolo
