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.

A Planetary Nebula. See related question.


Where would a main sequence star that is cooler and dimmer than the sun appear on the graph?

On a Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, a main sequence star that is cooler and dimmer than the Sun would appear to the right and below the Sun's position. The Sun is located approximately in the middle of the main sequence, so a cooler and dimmer star would have a lower temperature and luminosity compared to the Sun, indicating it would be plotted in the lower left section of 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.


What are the stages of the sun's life cycle?

The sun's life cycle includes the stages of formation, main-sequence, red giant, and white dwarf. It is currently in the main-sequence stage, where it fuses hydrogen into helium in its core. Eventually, it will expand into a red giant before shedding its outer layers and becoming a white dwarf.


What is stage 4 of star formation?

Stage 4 of star formation is characterized by the formation of a protostar, where the collapsing gas and dust from a molecular cloud begin to accumulate in a dense core. As the core contracts, it heats up, leading to the onset of nuclear fusion in the core when temperatures rise sufficiently. This stage marks the transition from a protostar to a main-sequence star, with the surrounding material forming a protoplanetary disk that may lead to planet formation. Eventually, the protostar stabilizes, and the star begins its life on the main sequence.
