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.
A diagonal pattern on an H-R diagram where most stars lie is called?
main sequence
On a Hertzsprung-Russel diagram red giants and supergiants are positioned?
above the main-sequence stars
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.
Where does a star spend most of its life on an hr diagram?
On the main sequence.

The HR diagram does not reference stars on their way to the main sequence, only during or after.
What is a diagonal band of stars on the H-R diagram?
Main sequence stars.
A diagonal pattern on an H-R diagram where most stars lie is called?
main sequence
Why is there no neurton stars in the hr diagram?
Of course they are on the HR diagram. They are simply not on the main sequence.
Where are most stars plotted on an HR diagram?
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.
Which main-sequence stars are brightest?
The most massive main sequence stars are the brightest, (O main sequence star on Hertzsprung-Russel Diagram). Main sequence stars obey a mass-luminosity relation. On the H-R diagram the vertical axis is the brightness. So the stars along the top are the brightest (intrinsically).
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.
On a Hertzsprung-Russel diagram red giants and supergiants are positioned?
above the main-sequence stars
Where a main sequence star is located on the H-R diagram depends on its temperature and its?
Main sequence stars are located on the H-R diagram based on their luminosity or absolute magnitude verses their spectral class and effective temperature.
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.
Where does a star spend most of its life on an hr diagram?
On the main sequence.
