The region of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram with the most stars is the what?
The main sequence - the region across the middle of the diagram.
A diagonal pattern on an H-R diagram where most stars lie is called?
main sequence
What type of star is most likely to be found on the main sequence?
The curve that contains most stars is called the "Main sequence". The stars on that curve are known as "main sequence stars". Their main characteristic is that they get their energy from fusing hydrogen-1 into helium-4.
Why do supernovas not appear on the HR diagram?
A supernova is a star saying "The End". The H-R diagram shows they different types of stars by spectral class, color, etc. It was never intended to show the ending of stars. On most H-R diagrams, you will find at the top, or occasionally top right, a place for "Supergiants". Some of those stars will eventually become supernovas. To be absolutely clear: A supernova isn't a type of star - it is the "end" of a type of star.
When does the main sequence star phase of a star end?
The "main sequence" is the region (on the HR diagram) for stars which burn hydrogen-1. Once stars use up most of their hydrogen-1 (and have significant amounts of helium-4), they leave the main sequence.
Are most of the stars on the HR diagram are classified as which type of star?
stars there called stars
Most of the stars on the HR Diagram are classified as which type of star?
stars there called stars
Why is it known as a Main sequence?
It's the main sequence because on the H-R diagram most of the stars fall on or near this line.
Which is the most famous constellation?
The Big Dipper.Mostly known for having the North Stars Location,Easiest to see,And most spotted at night.
Diagram of fuse box location for a 2000 Toyota Camry?
A diagram of the fuse box location, for your 2000 Toyota Camry, can be obtained from most Toyota dealerships. The fuse box location diagram can also be found at most auto-parts stores.
What are the most well known stars cqlled?
The sun is the most known but there is more stars that is VERY known.
Where are most stars plotted on an HR diagram?
Main sequence
The region of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram with the most stars is the what?
The main sequence - the region across the middle of the diagram.
What is the classification of most stars on the H-R diagram?
It's main sequence.
What do you understand by main sequence stars?
In the HR-diagram, a diagram of color vs. luminosity, most stars are concentrated close to one curve, called the "main sequence". It turns out that stars on the main sequence are the stars that mainly get their energy by converting hydrogen into helium.
What kind is stars are shown along the middle of the HR diagram?
The curve that currently contains most stars on the HR diagram is called the "main sequence". It consists of those stars that fuse hydrogen-1, converting it into helium-4.
Henry Norris Russell and Ejnar Hertzprung?
In the early 20th century, Danish astrophysicist Ejnar Hertzsprung and American astrophysicist Henry Norris Russell independently developed a graph now known as the Hertzsprung-Russell (H-R) diagram, which plots absolute brightness against spectral type. In this diagram, the brightest stars lie near the top of the diagram and the hottest stars lie to the left. On the H-R diagram, most of the stars, including the Sun, fall along a diagonal line that goes from the upper left to the lower right of the diagram. This line called the main sequence.The great majority of stars neighboring the Sun fall on the lower part of the H-R diagram's main sequence, and relatively few lie on the portion of the main sequence above the Sun. This means that most of the Sun's neighboring stars are both cooler and fainter (in absolute magnitude) than the Sun. A smaller population of brighter but cooler stars known as supergiants occupies the uppermost region of the diagram. Some stars, which are difficult to discover because they are so intrinsically faint, lie near the bottom of the H-R diagram. These faint stars are called white dwarfs.
