Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

When a star has reached the main sequence stage, hydrogen is converted into helium by nuclear fusion, . Also, the gravity and pressure are balanced because the star does not radiate more heat than it generates. A star usually spends most of its lifetime at this stage.

The Zero Age Main Sequence is the period during the main sequence when a star stops contracting, and begin to fuse hydrogen in its core.
