The two ways are by their surface temperature (spectrum) and by their absolute magnitude (intrinsic brightness). The HR diagram has spectrum along the horizontal axis and absolute magnitude along the vertical axis. Each star occupies a point in the HR diagram.
That is short for Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. It is a diagram in which the brightness of stars is plotted against their surface temperature (which can be deduced from their color). It turns out that most stars (basically, the ones that get their energy from fusion of hydrogen to helium) are on, or close to, one particular curve in the diagram - the so-called "main sequence".

The Sun is classified as a G-type main-sequence star (G dwarf) on the Hertzsprung-Russell (HR) diagram. It has a surface temperature of about 5,500 degrees Celsius and an absolute magnitude of approximately +4.83. On the HR diagram, the Sun is located in the middle of the main sequence, where it occupies a position indicative of its mass and luminosity relative to other stars.
On the HR diagram the Sun's spectrum is of type G2 which makes it yellow.
evolving into a later stage. For example, a G2 star going into a red giant (M type)
Of course they are on the HR diagram. They are simply not on the main sequence.
The HR diagram contains only stars - so everywhere.
The Sun is located on the main sequence of the H-R diagram, which is where stars like the Sun reside for most of their lifetime. It falls in the middle of the main sequence, representing a stable phase of hydrogen fusion in its core.
To read an HR diagram, look at the stars' luminosity on the vertical axis and their temperature on the horizontal axis. The main sequence represents stars in stable fusion. Interpret data by noting a star's position on the diagram to determine its temperature, size, and stage of evolution.
A stable star in the Hertzsprung-Russell (HR) diagram is one that is in hydrostatic equilibrium, where the gravitational forces pulling inward are balanced by the pressure from nuclear fusion reactions pushing outward. These stars typically reside in the main sequence region of the HR diagram, where they effectively fuse hydrogen into helium in their cores. Stability is characterized by a predictable luminosity and temperature, allowing for a steady lifecycle until they exhaust their nuclear fuel. As stars evolve, their position on the HR diagram changes, reflecting different stages of stability and energy production.
Nebulae themselves are not directly plotted on the Hertzsprung-Russell (HR) diagram, which is a graphical representation of stars based on their luminosity and temperature. However, nebulae are often the regions where stars form, and the stars that emerge from these nebulae can be represented on the HR diagram. The HR diagram primarily focuses on the evolutionary stages of individual stars rather than the nebulae from which they originate.
