Do planets die?
Planets are not alive and therefore cannot die. However, planets that are geolocically active and have a magnetic field (like Earth) are considered to be alive. Planets that are not geologically active and do not have a magnetic field (like Mars) are considered to be dead. It is believed that Mars was geolilcally active (volcano remnants have been discovered) in the past and had a magnetic field caused by geoligic action in its core. After hundreds of millions of years, Mars' core cooled and the planet became geolically dead.
