A typical star, such as our Sun, begins to die once it exhausts its supply of hydrogen.
The main sequence phase of a star's life is characterized by the fusion of hydrogen into helium in its core.
As a star consumes its hydrogen fuel, it undergoes changes in its structure and eventually enters later stages of its life cycle, leading to the depletion of hydrogen and the eventual evolution into a red giant and then a white dwarf.
