Step-by-step explanation:

The Hertzsprung-Russel Diagram also known as HR diagram is stars' scatter plot showing the relation of luminosity or absolute magnitude vs spectral class or surface temperature. The main sequence stars can be plotted on a HR Diagram as a diagonal band as their physical properties vary a lot.

The mass of these stars ranges from about a tenth of that of the Sun to about 200 times the mass of the Sun. Inside these stars Hydrogen fusion results in Helium. 90% of the stars, including the Sun, in the Universe lies in this category.

Their surface temperature lies in the range of 2500 Kelvin to 40000 Kelvin.
