The video explains how stars, including our sun, can freeze under certain conditions. When stars like the sun exhaust their fuel, they collapse into dense white dwarfs, which eventually crystallize into structures similar to diamonds. Neutron stars, remnants of massive stars, also exhibit freezing in their crusts, forming solid structures. Research has shown evidence of these processes through latent heat and star quakes, providing insights into the nature of frozen stars.
