A diagonal pattern on an H-R diagram where most stars lie is called?
main sequence
Are most stars main sequence stars?
yes
Which part of the main sequence in the HR diagram contains the stars that took the longest to reach the main sequence?
The HR diagram does not reference stars on their way to the main sequence, only during or after.
What is the main sequence temperature?
The temperature of main sequence stars can vary quite a bit.
What characteristics make white dwarf stars different from main sequence stars?
Beacuse they are dimmer, but they're also bigger than the main sequence stars.
What are the main sequence stars also called?
There is no specific name of such stars. In stellar models they are given the classification of O-type main sequence stars.
What are the hottest stars in the main sequence also called?
There is no specific name of such stars. In stellar models they are given the classification of O-type main sequence stars.
Are main sequence stars called medium sized stars?
No. Main sequence stars are simply stars that are fusing hydrogen into helium and have a specific relationship between color and luminosity. They range from red dwarfs to large O-type main sequence stars.
A star generates energy by?
Nuclear fusion. Most stars (the so-called "main sequence" stars) convert hydrogen-1 into helium-4.Nuclear fusion.

Most stars (the so-called "main sequence" stars) convert hydrogen-1 into helium-4.
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 are the two stars that are not in the main sequence?
There are billions of stars that are not on the main sequence.
A diagonal pattern on an H-R diagram where most stars lie is called?
main sequence
How many stars are main sequence stars?
Of the stars you can see from Earth, 90% are in the main sequence.
What are the stars in the main sequence?
The smallest stars in the main sequence are the stars with cooler surface temperatures.
Is most stars sequence stars?
"main sequence" is the tern.
Are most stars in our galaxy found in the main sequence?
Most of the stars in the universe are found on the main sequence. Stars fall off the main sequence when they begin to die.
What are featureless galaxies that contain old red main-sequence stars and red giants called?
With red giants and main sequence stars they are not entirely featureless, therefore there is no name for them.
