The main sequence is a continuous band of stars on the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram that signifies the primary stage of stellar evolution where stars spend most of their lifetimes fusing hydrogen into helium in their cores. This phase is crucial for understanding stellar structure and evolution, as it dictates a star's luminosity, temperature, and size, all influenced by its mass.
congrats on reading the definition of main sequence. now let's actually learn it.
