What would you tell someone who thinks that all stars are very similar be sure to discuss temperature and brightness?

While stars share similarities in that they are massive, luminous celestial bodies fueled by nuclear fusion, their temperatures and brightness can vary greatly. Stars can range in temperature from thousands to millions of degrees Kelvin, affecting their color and spectral characteristics. Similarly, their brightness, or luminosity, is influenced by factors such as size, mass, and stage of evolution. Therefore, not all stars are similar in terms of temperature and brightness.
