What happens to stars when they first begin to run out of fuel?

There are many factors involved, perhaps the most important is the mass of the star.
The star go through various stages and end in a final state depending on that mass.
It can grow to a red giant and eventually settle to a white dwarf and ultimately a black dwarf.
It can explode as a nova or supernova in which case it can end as a neutron star, pulsar or black hole, once again depending on the mass

Why do red giant stars expand?
Because they begin to run out of fuel
What happens when a neutron star runs out of fuel?
Neutron stars do not have fuel. A neutron star is a remnant of a star that has already died.
What happens to low-mass and medium-mass stars when they run out of fuel?
What actually happens to the types of stars is that the low mass will turn into a white dwarf and the medium mass will turn into a black dwarf and reproduce a nebula
How do the properties of long-lived stars compare to those of short-lived stars?
Long-lived stars begin their lives with less mass and a smaller amount of hydrogen fuel. and Long-lived stars are less luminous during their main-sequence lives.
What happens when the first stage of the multistage rocket runs out of fuel?
The first stage is jettisoned, to fall back to earth, as the fuel runs out.

What size stars have longer lives?
larger stars have longer lives, because as stars burn they are slowly burning up fuel and begin to cave in on themselves. the larger, the more fuel, the more fuel, the longer lasting.
What happens when a fuel filter goes out?
When a fuel filter goes out, a vehicle will typically begin to bog out. It will begin losing power and RPM's will not come as quickly.
What happens when a neutron star runs out of fuel?
Neutron stars do not have fuel. A neutron star is a remnant of a star that has already died.
What happens to stars bigger than then the sun?
When they run out of fuel they collapse and become black holes.
What happens to low to medium mass stars when they run out of fuel?
What actually happens to the types of stars is that the low mass will turn into a white dwarf and the medium mass will turn into a black dwarf and reproduce a nebula

What is the main fuel for nuclear reactions in stars?
The main fuel for stars is hydrogen.
What is the primary fuel of main sequence stars?
The primary fuel for all stars is hydrogen
