It's a ball of different gases, typically burning lightyears away. It's composed of hydrogen, which fuses into helium. It goes down the periodic table, from the 1st element to the 2nd to the 4th, 8th, etc. When a star dies, it may just fade away, become a brown dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole. This depends on how dense it was and whether it was in a binary system.

Stars are just huge balls of burning gas, and like all fires this produces heat and light. Our sun is a star and its heat and light warms us and makes life possible here.
Most stars have planets round them, some don't, but they are just great big balls of fire, and like all fires will one day burn out (but our sun will not do this for a very, very long time)

Theoretically every star is a sun with planets rotating around it as in our solar system.
