The Hertzsprung-Russell diagram is a scatter graph of stars in which a star's luminosity (brightness) is plotted against its colour (temperature). Stars are not distributed all over this chart. A majority of stars lie on or near the diagonal which goes from top left (hot and bright) to bottom left (cooler and less bright). These are the main sequence stars.
There are also white dwarfs which are below the main sequence whereas stars which are giants and super giants lie in the region above the main sequence.

What does it mean when a star goes off the main sequence?
When a star "goes off the main-sequence" it generally means the star has run out of hydrogen fuel and is beginning the post-main-sequence or its end of life phase. The main sequence of a star is the time where it is no longer just a proto-star but is burning hydrogen as a primary source of fuel.
What one is bigger a white dwarf or a main sequence star?
Main sequence stars are bigger.
Describe two types of stars that are not on the main sequence-?
Red Giants - although they can be branch main sequence for a while.Brown DwarfsBlack dwarfsWhite dwarfsT-Tauri starsProtostarsNeutron starsPre-main sequence stars (PMS stars)
Is most stars sequence stars?
"main sequence" is the tern.
Main sequence stars are also called stars?
A "main sequence star" is not really a type of star but a period in a stars life. When a star is in "main sequence" it is converting hydrogen into helium. It is then usually called a dwarf star. This is the longest period in a stars lifetime. Our Sun is a yellow dwarf in "main sequence".

What most stars are classified as?
Main Sequence
Where is the sun in its main sequence stage?
its to the right of the middle of the main sequence.
What are the two stars that are not in the main sequence?
There are billions of stars that are not on the main sequence.
Do red main sequence stars have the highest surface temperature?
No. They have the lowest temperatures on the main sequence. The hottest main sequence stars are blue.
Where is Hamal on the main sequence?
Unfortunately, it is impossible to tell accurately where a star is on the main sequence.
What is the main sequence temperature?
The temperature of main sequence stars can vary quite a bit.
When was Off the Main Sequence created?
Off the Main Sequence was created in 2005-11.
How many pages does Off the Main Sequence have?
Off the Main Sequence has 738 pages.
Does a red main sequence star have fusion?
A red main sequence star would be a red dwarf or a branch red giant. To be on the main sequence, you have to have hydrogen nuclear fusion.
Why are giants not on the main sequence?
Because, giants can only occur once they leave the main sequence.
What is the step after main sequence in a stars life?
After the main sequence, a star becomes a red giant.
