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.

What two characteristics of stars are shown in the H-R diagram?
The Hertzsprung Russell diagram plots each star as a point on the diagram, with absolute magnitude along the vertical scale and surface temperature along the horizontal scale.
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.
As shown in a Hertzsprung-Russel diagram the main-sequence stars are defined according to their?
Absolute magnitude and surface temperature
What stars are considered normal and mature and are located in the middle or the Hertzsprung Russell diagram?

As shown in a H-R diagram the main-sequence stars are defined according to their?
They are defined by their absolute magnitude and surface temperature.
What type of relationship is shown on a HR diagram?
It is a chart showing a scatter chart of stars according to their temperature and their luminosity (or absolute magnitude).
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).
Where are stars on the hr diagram?
The HR diagram contains only stars - so everywhere.
Interpret an H-R diagram?
An H-R Diagram (Hertzsprung and Russell) is used to classify stars based on their size and brightness. The main sequence stars, such as our sun, are the medium stars, and take up the middle f the diagram, while the giants and dwarves are located on either side. http://www.eso.org/public/outreach/eduoff/cas/cas2002/cas-projects/bulgaria_comaber_1/hr_local.gif <- shows what an H-R diagram looks like.
What is the brightest star on the H-R diagram?
The "supergiant" stars are the brightest stars on the H-R diagram.
Type of stars in the H-R diagram?
The HR diagram has the star's temperature along the horizontal axis and the absolute magnitude (brightness) along the vertical axis. Each star is represented by a single dot. Higher temperature is usually associated with more brightness so many stars lie on or near a line on the diagram called the Main Sequence. Red giant stars are found on the upper right hand quarter because they are relatively cool but still very bright.
What are the two ways you can classify stars?
The two ways are by their surface temperature (spectrum) and by their absolute magnitude (intrinsic brightness). The HR diagram has spectrum along the horizontal axis and absolute magnitude along the vertical axis. Each star occupies a point in the HR diagram.
