The majority of stars in a Hertzsprung-Russell (HR) diagram are located along the main sequence, which runs diagonally from the upper left (hot, luminous stars) to the lower right (cool, dim stars). This area contains about 90% of all stars, including our Sun. Stars on the main sequence are in a stable phase of hydrogen fusion in their cores. Other regions of the HR diagram, such as the giant and white dwarf areas, contain significantly fewer stars.
