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.

What are different sizes or stars?
dwarf stars,giant stars,main sequence stars
Are main sequence stars hotter or cooler than the sun?
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 most stars sequence stars?
"main sequence" is the tern.
How many stars are main sequence stars?
Of the stars you can see from Earth, 90% are in the main sequence.
About 90 of all stars are what kinds of stars?
main sequence stars , our sun is also a main sequence star
What are different sizes or stars?
dwarf stars,giant stars,main sequence stars
What characteristics make white dwarf stars different from main sequence stars?
Beacuse they are dimmer, but they're also bigger than the main sequence stars.

The Sun is about halfway along the main sequence.
Why is the sun called a main sequence star?
The main sequence is a line on a Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, on which every star is placed on a graph of absolute magnitude against surface temperature. Each star produces a dot on the diagram, and all the main sequence stars fall roughly on a straight line. On the main sequence the hot bright stars are on the top left and the cooler dimmer red stars are on the lower right. The Sun is just above halfway up.
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.
Is most stars sequence stars?
"main sequence" is the tern.
What is the general size of a main sequence?
It can have many different sizes. Only the largest giants are no longer main sequence stars.
What are the two stars that are not in the main sequence?
There are billions of stars that are not on the main sequence.
How many stars are main sequence stars?
Of the stars you can see from Earth, 90% are in the main sequence.
What are the stars in the main sequence?
The smallest stars in the main sequence are the stars with cooler surface temperatures.
Are main sequence stars only the Right type of stars?
By definition and experiance sol as a main sequence star and as a class planet earth and the earths moon with some comets as life as we know it. But a star like a gas giant its gravity may be to strong. Sol as a main sequence stars has the right gravity for earth and counter clock wise rotation and gravity
How are super-Giants are formed?
Supergiants develop when massive main-sequence stars run out of hydrogen in their cores. They then start to expand, just like lower-mass stars, but unlike lower-mass stars, they begin to fuse helium in the core almost immediately.
