The significance is the following:

1) When lots of stars are plotted in the HR diagram, the vast majority star appear along a curve. This curve is known as the main sequence.

2) It turns out that those are basically the stars that burn hydrogen-1, converting it into helium-4.

Is the nebula located on a HR diagram?

Nebulae themselves are not directly plotted on the Hertzsprung-Russell (HR) diagram, which is a graphical representation of stars based on their luminosity and temperature. However, nebulae are often the regions where stars form, and the stars that emerge from these nebulae can be represented on the HR diagram. The HR diagram primarily focuses on the evolutionary stages of individual stars rather than the nebulae from which they originate.
