They are both hotter and cooler because the main sequence contains a lot of stars including the Sun. The main sequence is a region on a Hertzsprung-Russell diagram which plots stars on a graph of brightness against surface temperature. Each star is a point on the diagram because it has one value of brightness and one of temperature. All the main-sequence stars lie on or near a line drawn from top left to lower right. The Sun is about halfway along the main sequence.

Is the sun hotter or cooler than most other main-sequence stars?

Beacuse penis.


What are the stars in the main sequence?

The smallest stars in the main sequence are the stars with cooler surface temperatures.


What happens to the brightness of main sequence stars as they get hotter?

As they get hotter, they usually get brighter.


Its Cooler larger and brighter than most main sequence stars?

What is the color of a main sequence star?

As the HR diagram shows, the hottest stars on the main sequence range from 30,000K as blue-white stars to about 3,000K as redish stars.


Are big stars cold?

No. All stars are hot. For stars on the main sequence, the largest it is, the hotter it is. When a star leaves the main sequence to become a giant or supergiant it will cool down, but will remain hot enough to glow brightly.


Are stars on the main sequence hot?

Yes, stars on the main sequence are hot. They generate energy through nuclear fusion in their cores, which creates the immense heat and light that we see and feel from Earth. The temperature of a main sequence star varies depending on its size and age, with hotter stars being more massive and younger.


Which main sequence stars on the hertzsprung Russell diagram are the lease massive?

The main sequence stars on the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram that are least massive are the red dwarfs. These stars have low masses compared to other main sequence stars like our sun. They are cooler and fainter, making them difficult to observe compared to more massive stars.


How are stars on the upper left end of the main sequence different from those on the lower right end?

The main sequence is a map of star brightness against their temperature. Stars that lie on the main sequence in the top left are the high mass stars. Cooler, smaller stars lie near the line at the lower right.


Explain how the Sun is different from other stars on the main sequence?

It isn't different. The sun is hotter and brighter than the average main sequence stars, but it is within what is considered normal. There is nothing extraordinary about the sun itself.


Where a main sequence star is located on the H-R diagram depends on its temperature and its?

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.


What happens to brightness as surface temperature of the main sequence stars increase?

The hotter the star, the brighter. Ex: A stove
