What color is the most massive type of main sequence star?
The most massive main sequence stars are typically blue in color, due to their high surface temperatures. These stars are known as O-type stars and can be tens of times more massive than the Sun.
Are the hottest main sequence starts also the most massive?
Yes, generally the hottest main sequence stars are also the most massive. This is because more massive stars have higher core temperatures and pressures, resulting in hotter surface temperatures. Therefore, there is a direct correlation between a star's mass and its surface temperature on the main sequence.
Which main-sequence stars are brightest?
The most massive main sequence stars are the brightest, (O main sequence star on Hertzsprung-Russel Diagram). Main sequence stars obey a mass-luminosity relation. On the H-R diagram the vertical axis is the brightness. So the stars along the top are the brightest (intrinsically).
Is most stars sequence stars?
"main sequence" is the tern.
Are all young main sequence stars blue?
No. Only the most massive main sequence stars are blue. Because blue stars are short-lived compared to other stars they are almost invariably young. Less massive stars live much longer, so only a fairly small portion of them are so young. For example a star like our sun can be expected to remain on the main sequence for about 10 billion years, if the rate of formation of such stars is constant then you can expect 1 in every 1,000 such stars to be in their first 10 million years on the main sequence.

Is our sun the most or least massive of main sequence stars?
Neither, the sun is on the small side of the middle range of main sequence stars.
Are the hottest main sequence starts also the most massive?
Yes, generally the hottest main sequence stars are also the most massive. This is because more massive stars have higher core temperatures and pressures, resulting in hotter surface temperatures. Therefore, there is a direct correlation between a star's mass and its surface temperature on the main sequence.

Main Sequence

Most stars are what kind of stars?
Most stars in the universe are main sequence stars. These stars are in a stable phase of their life cycle where they generate energy through nuclear fusion in their cores. The Sun is a main sequence star.
What type of stars are most stars?
main sequence stars
Are most stars main sequence stars?
yes
Why do the most massive stars on the HR diagrahm have the shortest lifespans on the main sequence?
Because they use up more fuel faster
Are most stars in our galaxy found in the main sequence?
Yes, the majority of stars in our galaxy, including our Sun, are found in the main sequence stage of their life cycle. The main sequence is a phase where stars are fusing hydrogen into helium in their cores, which is the most common stage of stellar evolution.
