Then, when it burns out, the gases escape into space, and it becomes a little tiny star called a white dwarf. Eventually it will burn out, and that's how the sun's lifecycle works.

what is the third stage of the star cycle
white dwarf
A star with a mass of 2solar masses, 2times the mass of the sun, would have a main-sequence stage of half the life of a star with the mass of our sun. More massive stars die faster, less massive stars live longer and therefore have longer main-sequence stages.
Technically, no, it's not the final stage. The final stage would be a black dwarf... a completely burned-out star.
For a star like ours, the black dwarf stage For an immensely massive star, a back hole.

It varies, depending on the stage of the star's development.
