They are all hard to remember!
It's size
Simply, because they are the hottest and thus the most luminous.
Yes. Around 76% of the stars are low luminosity stars.
The stars in the night sky shine with a remarkable luminosity.
To determine a star's luminosity is from size and temperature.
Blue stars are very hot stars and so usually have high luminosity.

A star with luminosity class VI under the Yerkes Spectral Classification System. They have luminosity 1.5 to 2 magnitudes lower than main-sequence stars of the same spectral type.
If the binary stars were of too high luminosity it would be impossible to distinguish the two through vision alone. Therefore most visual binary stars are of low luminosity.
luminosity or brightness
Luminosity is the total amount of energy emitted by a star per second.
Luminosity.
The basic luminosity classes are: I for supergiants, III for giants, and V for main-sequence stars.
