The primary fuel for all stars is hydrogen
No, red giants are generally older than main sequence stars, as red giants have no hydrogen left for fuel, and burn helium instead. where as Main Sequence stars burn hydrogen for fuel.
"main sequence" is the tern.
There are fewer stars on the upper main sequence because these stars have shorter lifespans compared to their lower-mass counterparts. High-mass stars burn through their nuclear fuel quickly, exiting the main sequence in a relatively short time, often in just a few million years. In contrast, lower-mass stars can remain on the main sequence for billions of years, leading to a greater abundance of them. Consequently, the upper main sequence is less populated due to the rapid evolution of high-mass stars.
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.
Stars leave the main sequence when they have exhausted their core hydrogen fuel, causing them to expand into red giants or supergiants. This transition marks the end of stable nuclear fusion in their cores and the beginning of the next phase in their lifecycle.

main sequence stars all are burning though fuel at asteadyrate in there cores. with the proton+proton chain our sun is a main sequence star
Main sequence star: hydrogen-1. Red giants: helium-4.
Main sequence star: hydrogen-1. Red giants: helium-4.
Main sequence star: hydrogen-1. Red giants: helium-4.
gas, and other vibrate radiations.
Main sequence stars do not really exist - well they do, but read on. Main sequence is a stage in a stars life - where it converts hydrogen into energy, not a particular star or type of star. All stars go through a main sequence, from the smallest to the largest.However, in general, the larger the star, the faster it will burn off it's fuel.
There are billions of stars that are not on the main sequence.
Hydrogen is being "burned" into helium.
The smallest stars in the main sequence are the stars with cooler surface temperatures.
