How do I make make a particle system gradually fade out to a specified point? For instance, I made a starry sky that is a hair particle system on a sphere in the render down below. I want the stars to become more transparent the closer they become to the horizon. Is there any way to do this?

Not sure if this is best/cleanest way to do it but here is what I figured out.
I made a hair particle system on a sphere that uses smaller spheres (the stars) as objects to imitate the look of stars like in your render. Then I made this node setup (pictured below) for the material of the star that uses the mapping of the sphere that is holding the particle system to affect a color ramp. That then controls the factor of a mix shader that fades between a transparency and emission shader.
Hope that helps!
