Stars a giant balls of gas mainly hydrogen and helium. inside a star there are such temperatures that hydrogen fusion occurs making helium and when the star runs outta hydrogen it gets hotter and helium fusion occurs then carbon fusion etc etc. so ultimately it depends on the age of the star.

Are main sequence stars older than red giants?

No, red giants are generally older than main sequence stars, as red giants have no hydrogen left for fuel, and burn helium instead. where as Main Sequence stars burn hydrogen for fuel.


What is the primary fuel of main sequence stars?

The primary fuel for all stars is hydrogen


What does it mean when a star goes off the main sequence?

When a star "goes off the main-sequence" it generally means the star has run out of hydrogen fuel and is beginning the post-main-sequence or its end of life phase. The main sequence of a star is the time where it is no longer just a proto-star but is burning hydrogen as a primary source of fuel.


What makes a star stop being a sequence star?

Basically, the stars on the "Main Sequence" are the ones that fuse hydrogen-1 into helium-4. Once a star burns up its hydrogen-1 fuel, or doesn't have much left, it will start burning helium-4 into heavier elements. It is then that the star leaves the "Main Sequence".


What fuel is used with the main sequence stars?

gas, and other vibrate radiations.


What will burn through its fuel first a main sequence star or a super giant?

Main sequence stars do not really exist - well they do, but read on. Main sequence is a stage in a stars life - where it converts hydrogen into energy, not a particular star or type of star. All stars go through a main sequence, from the smallest to the largest.However, in general, the larger the star, the faster it will burn off it's fuel.


What are all of the elements found in the core of a star?

For stars on the main sequence, Hydrogen and helium.


What fuel is being burned by main sequence stars?

Hydrogen is being "burned" into helium.
