The sun is relativly close to the Earth compared to other stars. It takes light less than 9 minutes to get to us from the Sun, but it takes several years, to billions of years, for star light to reach Earth.

Are main sequence stars mostly cool and bright?

Main sequence stars vary widely in temperature and brightness, depending on their mass. While some main sequence stars, like red dwarfs, are cool and dim, others, such as blue giants, are hot and very bright. The majority of main sequence stars, however, are found in the middle range of the spectrum, often classified as yellow or orange stars like our Sun. Thus, it is not accurate to say that main sequence stars are mostly cool and bright; they exhibit a broad range of characteristics.
