main sequence
The location on the Hertzsprung-Russell (H-R) diagram where most stars lie is known as the main sequence. This diagonal band extends from the upper left (hot, luminous stars) to the lower right (cool, dim stars) of the diagram. Main sequence stars, including our Sun, primarily fuse hydrogen into helium in their cores, which is the dominant phase of stellar evolution for the majority of stars.
In an H-R diagram, summer (or main sequence) stars are located along a diagonal band from the upper left (hot and bright) to the lower right (cooler and dimmer). They are grouped around the center of the diagram, with the most massive stars located at the top left and the least massive stars at the bottom right.
The chart used to classify stars is called the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram (H-R diagram). This diagram plots stars based on their luminosity and temperature, helping to illustrate their evolutionary stages. It reveals relationships between different types of stars, including main-sequence stars, giants, and white dwarfs.
Hot stars are found in the left hand side of the diagram, cool stars the right, bright stars at the top, and lastly the faint stars are located at the bottom.
The diagram used to classify stars is called the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, often abbreviated as the H-R diagram. It plots stars based on their luminosity (or absolute magnitude) against their surface temperature (or spectral class), revealing distinct groups such as main sequence stars, giants, and white dwarfs. This classification helps in understanding stellar evolution and the characteristics of different types of stars.
Main sequence stars.
The great majority of stars are plotted along a diagonal band called the main sequence on an H-R diagram. This band represents stars that are fusing hydrogen into helium in their cores, where the varying luminosities and temperatures of stars are displayed.

Several regions of the HR diagram have been given names, although stars can occupy any portion. The brightest stars are called supergiants. Star clusters are rich in stars just off the main sequence called red giants. Main sequence stars are called dwarfs.

Its called an HR diagram or a Hertzsprung-Russell diagram.
An specific pattern of stars could be called a constellation.
Hot stars are found in the left hand side of the diagram, cool stars the right, bright stars at the top, and lastly the faint stars are located at the bottom.
The curve that currently contains most stars on the HR diagram is called the "main sequence". It consists of those stars that fuse hydrogen-1, converting it into helium-4.
