The ways to classify the sun are varied.
1. The average frequency of the light emitted
2. The average intensity of the light emitted.
3. The mass of the sun.(its gravitational attraction)
4. The content of the solar wind.
and many other things.

Small Yellow Star. So like smaller than a red Giant but still bigger than a Dwarf Star.

It is a one solar mass,less than average size star.
It is a second generation star the result of a first generation 20 solar mass super nova.

By its spectral type (G) and within that by its temperature (G2). It is a Main Sequence star, fusing hydrogen to helium in its core (we add a V to indicate that: G2V).
Also by its luminosity, size, age, metallicity, and whether it is a Population III, II or I star.
Whether it is part of a binary or multiple star system, and whether it has planets, and whether any of those planets are in the habitable zone and are inhabited.
