Arcturus is orange in color, and has a mass of 2.188E30 kg. Vega has an apparent magnitude of 0.03, a white color, and the size is unknown. Comments. That answer does not fully answer the question. For example there's nothing about Polaris.

A star's color tells us it's temperature, and indirectly, can tell us a lot about it's size. It's absolute brightness (as opposed to it's apparent brightness) also helps us define the star.
Stars are classified by four different characteristics. Apparent magnitude (brightness) and absolute magnitude (how bright it would appear at 10 parsecs from the earth). Luminosity, another measure of brightness, compares the star to the sun's brightness. Spectral classifications are measured by the star's temperatures. Finally stars are signed a number by scientists through the Morgan-Keenan System.

The main star in the Polaris system, Polaris Aa, is a yellow super-giant, with a radius which is 46 +/- 3 times that of the sun. Its apparent magnitude is 1.98 but it is a Cepheid variable.
