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.
What else can I help you with?
Where are cool red giant stars on the H-R?
Cool red giant stars are located in the upper right corner of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, where they are both cool (low temperature) and bright (high luminosity). These stars have evolved from main sequence stars and are in a late stage of stellar evolution.
Large bright stars that are fairly cool are called?
Red giants.
Majority of stars are small cool type-M stars?
Correct. M-type stars on the main sequence are called red dwarfs.
Is your sun typical or exceptional?
Our sun is a typical star compared to others in the universe. It is a G-type main-sequence star, similar in size, age, and composition to many other stars. It is not particularly large or small, hot or cool, bright or dim in comparison to the billions of stars in the galaxy.
What are large cool and bright stars called?
Large, cool, and bright stars are typically classified as red giants. These stars have expanded and cooled after exhausting the hydrogen fuel in their cores, leading to their large size and reddish hue. Red giants are often in a later stage of stellar evolution, and they can be significantly more luminous than smaller, cooler stars. Examples include Betelgeuse and Aldebaran.

What stars are very bright and very cool?
the ones in the sky
Large bright stars that are fairly cool are called?
Red giants.
What stars are cool and bright stars?
To be bright you need to be hot, close or have a large surface area. The brightest coolest stars are red super giants. They have such a large surface area, that even though their surface temperature is cool - in star terms - their large surface area makes them appear bright.
Where on the Main Sequence are stars cool and dim?
None of them are cool and dim; the one in the white/black dwarfs are cool and dim.
Majority of stars are small cool type-M stars?
Correct. M-type stars on the main sequence are called red dwarfs.
What are the very bright starts in the upper right of an h-r diagram called?
Hot stars are found in the left hand side of the diagram, cool stars the right, bright stars at the top, and lastly the faint stars are located at the bottom.
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.

What is the name of a class of small cool main sequence stars?
A red dwarf star. See related question.
