The main sequence is a line on a Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, on which every star is placed on a graph of absolute magnitude against surface temperature. Each star produces a dot on the diagram, and all the main sequence stars fall roughly on a straight line.

On the main sequence the hot bright stars are on the top left and the cooler dimmer red stars are on the lower right. The Sun is just above halfway up.
