Hi, sorry for the delayed reply!
For the first question:
For the second question:
I hope that helps!
For the first question:
We know the sun must be a main sequence star, because the y axis shows us how bright the stars are compared to the sun. So the sun itself would have a value of 1, on the y-axis, and only main sequence stars have a value of 1 on the y axis.
For the second question:
To see the range of temperatures, we are looking for the widest spread on the x axis. Main sequence is not included, so we are comparing the other groups. However, the x axis is not uniform (the furthest left side goes from 40,000 to 20,000 while the right side goes from 5000 to 2500). Because of this, we can see that the white dwarfs are spread across many thousands of degrees more than any other group (excluding the main sequence).
I hope that helps!
