A main sequence star is a star that is not surprisingly on "the main sequence". This is the period when a star is fusing hydrogen into helium.
Most stars you see in the night sky are main sequence stars.

However the main sequence is when a star burns H into He in what is known as a pp1 reaction, so in regards to the fusion reaction they are the same. After main sequence is where they really begin to vary. So the reactions are the same but one occurs much faster.
Hope it helps,

What comes after the main sequence stage?
red giant
Which is a star in its old age Protostar Main sequence Black Hole or Red giant?
Red giant.
What category does a star belong in Main sequence star white dwarf red giant neutron star?
None of those is a main sequence star.
When the Sun moves off the main sequence it will next become a?
It will become a red giant.
What is the size of electra star?
I assume you mean 17 Tauri, one of the stars in the Pleaides cluster. The best information I can find is that it's about six times the radius of the Sun. Despite not being that much larger than the Sun, it's still a "giant" (not on the main sequence). Blue "dwarf" (main sequence) stars are actually not much smaller than the smallest blue "giant" stars, and the difference is determined spectroscopically rather than by size measurements.
What order does a nebula occur and becomes a main sequence star and then a giant?
main sequence,giant then nebula
How would you arrange this in order red giant white dwarf and main sequence?
Main-sequence,red giant,white dwarf.
Does a red main sequence star have fusion?
A red main sequence star would be a red dwarf or a branch red giant. To be on the main sequence, you have to have hydrogen nuclear fusion.
Is a red giant star considered to be a main sequence star?
No. Red giants are not on the main sequence.
What is the step after main sequence in a stars life?
After the main sequence, a star becomes a red giant.
What comes after the main sequence stage?
red giant
Which stage follows a main sequence star?
Red Giant
What is difference between intermediate mass star and main sequence stars?
i don't think so
What element is the main fuel for main sequence stars for red giant?
Main sequence star: hydrogen-1. Red giants: helium-4.
What is the difference between sequence diagram and communication diagram?
The main difference between communication diagrams and sequence diagrams is that sequence diagrams are good at showing sequential logic but not that good at giving you a "big picture view" whereas communication diagrams are the exact opposite
Which is a star in its old age Protostar Main sequence Black Hole or Red giant?
Red giant.
What category does a star belong in Main sequence star white dwarf red giant neutron star?
None of those is a main sequence star.
