  • Understanding Stellar Luminosity Classes: What is Main Sequence?
    The luminosity class that refers to stars on the main sequence is V.

    Here's a breakdown of the luminosity classes:

    * I: Supergiants

    * II: Bright giants

    * III: Giants

    * IV: Subgiants

    * V: Main sequence (dwarfs)

    * VI: Subdwarfs

    * VII: White dwarfs

    The main sequence is where stars spend the majority of their lives, fusing hydrogen into helium in their cores.
