Star properties: brightness, temperature, and color

A star's observed properties, like its brightness, color, and surface temperature, are all connected: hotter stars glow bluer-white, while cooler stars glow orange or red, and a star's true brightness, its luminosity, depends on its size and temperature rather than its distance, unlike how bright it merely appears from Earth, which also depends on how far away it is.
