they do not die!

When a star like our sun dies, it has been blowing off most of its mass for thousands of years to create a "planetary nebula". Then what's left of the star explodes and leaves behind a white dwarf star.
When a star more than 8 times the mass of our sun dies, it goes out in a supernova explosion, what's left ends up as a black hole or neutron star (depending on the mass of what's left after the explosion).

when a star dies, it implodes, or explodes, cant remember which, but, if it explodes, it sends out a massive force of energy, spreading out in all directions, and it usually wont stop unless it is caught in a strong gravitational pull, such as the pull around the earth. Then, the energy will gather together and form a new star, planet, etc, which will most likely be discovered by NASA around twenty years after it formed.

When a star dies it compresses in on itself causing an implosion. When it cant implode any more it explodes and what is left is an infinately dense black hole. On the other hand after it explodes it might just die and be left idle in space not producing gas or burning anymore......

Well, First, it will lose energy. It then turns into a supernova. If the star has enough gravity, it will collapse on itself under it's own gravity and turn into a black hole. If it doesn't have enough gravity, it will turn into a neutron star. Our sun will not turn into a black hole. It doesn't have enough gravity and besides, if our sun did turn into a black hole, we wouldn't be sucked into it. There is a certain region called Swartzchild's radius. We are not within this radius and therefore have nothing to worry about.

U mean the star is a thing or a human whowe call 'star' ?
if it is a thing, star will just vanished and useless. Lost its ability to reflect sunlight. If it is a human, all medias will be focusing on them for weeks. Masssive funeral will be held with thousands of supporters.

Basically, what happens when a star dies depends on its size at birth. Fueled by the burning of their own hydrogen/helium cores, all stars evolve, age, and eventually explode or expire, leaving behind stellar remains. "White dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes are the dead cinders of former stars." The longevity of stars is measured in millions or billions of years, and star size is measured in units of solar mass -- equal to that of our sun (or about 330,000 Earth masses).

Stars that are greater than eight solar masses when they are born usually end their lives in a gigantic supernova, one of the brightest events in the universe. After this violent and dramatic death, they leave behind a neutron star or black hole. Smaller stars shed layers over thousands of years, ejecting planetary nebula as they run out of nuclear fuel and enter their red giant phase. The ejected nebula is an expanding shell of gas that leaves behind a burnt-out, highly compact star known as a white dwarf.

It depends on the type of star!
Some explode.
Some expand into a red giant, then shrink into a white dwarf, then eventually fade to nothing!
And some if big enough implode to become a black hole.

Stars turn into black holes or a white dwarf star which is pretty cold

Well the sun will sort of implode becoming a Giant and then eventually exploding and turning into a black hole. The closest black hole to us is in the Andromeda galaxy. Pray that that one doesn't get us either!

(Basically we'll all be sucked in faster than you could blink. Don't worry, it won't hurt....much)

it will become a black whole or a dwarf star. i think that's right, but i learned this in 6th grade,so i don't remeber it perfectly
