The star's mass. More mass will make the star hotter, and will increase the pressure in the center; this will make the star burn its fuel faster.When a star is on the "main sequence", it burns hydrogen-1, converting it into helium-4.
No, it will spend most of it's life as a main sequence star.

Main Sequence
Stars spend most of their life span in the main sequence phase, where they are fusing hydrogen into helium in their cores. After exhausting their hydrogen fuel, they will expand and cool down to become red giants before eventually evolving into white dwarfs or other stellar remnants.
Yes Star spend most of their life span as a main sequence star. A star end will depend on its size in life the end of a start can be a red giant to supernova, a white dwarf, pulsar, or black hole.
Stars spend most of their life in the main sequence phase, where nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium occurs in their cores, producing energy that counteracts gravitational collapse. This phase can last billions of years for stars like our Sun.
"main sequence" is the tern.
Most stars are plotted along the main sequence in the Hertzsprung-Russell (HR) diagram, which extends diagonally from the upper left (hot and luminous stars) to the lower right (cool and less luminous stars). This is because the majority of stars, including our Sun, spend the majority of their lives in the main sequence phase where they are fusing hydrogen into helium.
MAIN-SEQUENCE The average star spends 90% of its life as a hydrogen burning MS star.
A main sequence star's temperature is most closely related to its color and brightness.
