What is sequence stars?

Information on millions of stars shows that there is a relationship between temperature and brightness. Surface temperature is measured in degrees C and brightness is measured in absolute magnitude (the star's brightness at a standard distance).

If all the stars are plotted on a graph of temperature against absolute magnitude, called a Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, very many of them lie close to a straight line that is called the Main Sequence. There are some stars that do not lie on the Main Sequence, notably the red giants that are very bright despite having a relatively low temperature.

The Sun is right in the middle of the Main Sequence showing it is an average star in the middle of its life and very stable.

What percentage of stars are main sequence stars?

Approximately 90% of stars in the universe are categorized as main sequence stars. These stars, like our Sun, are in the stable phase of their lifecycle where they fuse hydrogen into helium in their cores. Main sequence stars vary in size and temperature, leading to differences in brightness and color.
