To label the characteristics of the stars in each area of the Hertzsprung-Russell (H-R) diagram, we can use the following descriptions based on the typical layout of the H-R diagram:

  1. Main Sequence: These stars are in a diagonal band that runs from the upper left (hot, luminous stars) to the lower right (cool, dim stars). Characteristics include:

    • Mostly hydrogen-fusing stars
    • Stars of various sizes, from small (like red dwarfs) to large (like blue giants)
  2. Red Giants: Located in the upper right area of the diagram, these stars are characterized by:

    • Large radius
    • Lower surface temperatures compared to main-sequence stars
    • High luminosity
  3. White Dwarfs: Found in the lower left area of the H-R diagram, white dwarfs are characterized by:

    • Small size
    • High temperature
    • Low luminosity
  4. Supergiants: Positioned at the very top of the diagram, supergiants display:

    • Extremely high luminosity
    • Large radius
    • Variable surface temperatures
