Star color indicates its surface temperature and brightness (luminosity) helps in understanding its size and distance - related properties. These two factors are key in star - classification systems like the Hertzsprung - Russell diagram. Size alone doesn't fully classify a star, apparent magnitude is affected by distance and doesn't give full information about the star's nature, and star movements are less relevant for basic classification compared to color and brightness.
