That the star has stopped fusing hydrogen in its core as its energy source.
Achernar is a type B star, specifically a B6 V star. It is a hot, blue-white main sequence star located in the constellation Eridanus.
Chort, also known as Omicron1 Tauri, is a binary star system located in the constellation Taurus. The primary star is a yellow-white F-type main-sequence star, while the companion star is a smaller K-type main-sequence star.
The location of a main sequence star on the H-R diagram depends on its temperature and its luminosity (or brightness). Main sequence stars follow a diagonal band on the diagram, with hotter and more luminous stars located towards the top left and cooler and less luminous stars towards the bottom right.
Matar is a yellow bright giant star in the constellation Pegasus.
A star's position on the main sequence indicates its mass, temperature, luminosity, and evolutionary stage. Stars fuse hydrogen into helium in their cores while on the main sequence. The more massive the star, the hotter, brighter, and shorter its lifespan.
Yes, the sun is classified as a G2V star. This means it is a main-sequence star of spectral type G, and the "V" indicates that it is in the main sequence phase of its life cycle.

Yes. Our Sun's classification, based on spectral class, is a main sequence G2V star. It designated as a yellow dwarf star. G2 indicates its surface temperature of approximately 5778 K (5505 °C), and V indicates that the Sun, like most stars, is a main sequence star.

A main-sequence star is one that is along a curve where the majority of stars are located, when plotted in an H-R diagram. It is a star that gets its energy from fusing hydrogen-1 into helium-4.
Our Sun's classification, based on spectral class, is a main sequence G2V star. It is informally designated as a yellow dwarf star. It appears white from space, but yellow on earth due to scattering of the blue spectrum in our atmosphere. G2 indicates its surface temperature of approximately 5778 K (5500 °C), and V indicates that the Sun is a main sequence star.
No. Red giants are not on the main sequence.
Matar is a yellow bright giant star in the constellation Pegasus.
Polaris - the current North star is a multiple star system., consisting of the main star and smaller companions. The main star Alpha Ursae Minoris is a bright star, a 6 solar mass supergiant and it is a main sequence star. Orbiting very close to this main star is a white dwarf of roughly 1.5 solar masses. This is not a main sequence star. Orbiting further out is the third companion, a 1.39 solar mass star. This is a main sequence star. There are also two more distant components (α UMi C and α UMi D) - Polaris is thought to be part of an open cluster - I do not know if these later two stars are main sequence or not.
No, Vega is not a dwarf star. It is a main sequence star, specifically a type A main sequence star. Vega is one of the brightest stars in the night sky and is located relatively close to Earth in the constellation of Lyra.
A star's position on the main sequence indicates its mass, temperature, luminosity, and evolutionary stage. Stars fuse hydrogen into helium in their cores while on the main sequence. The more massive the star, the hotter, brighter, and shorter its lifespan.
