Why are dwarf plants are hot but dim?
I assume you mean a DWARF STAR. There are different types of dwarf stars; the white dwarfs are fairly hot - but the reason they are dim is that they have a very small surface area.
Is a white dwarfs hot and dim or hot and bright?
As the name white dwarf implies, this is a small type of star, and it has less surface area from which to radiate light, so even if it is hot, and giving off lots of light per square mile, there are fewer square miles than in larger, non-dwarf stars, so there is less total light being emitted.
What kind of star is hot and has a very small radius?
north star
What is a star if you have to explain it to a six year old?
A star is a ball of gas that is very hot and very bright.
What is a small dim star that is the leftover center of an old star?
a white dwarf
How white dwarf stars can be both hot and dim?
White Dwarf Stars are very hot, like a ball of fire. They are dim because they are small and very far away.

What best describes giant star?
hot, bright stars
What types of stars are dim and hot?
There could be many answers as dim and hot are mutually exclusiveBrightness (or dimness for that matter) is defined as a stars luminosity and it's distance from the observer.So a hot star could be very far away and appear dim, whereas if it was relatively close, it would appear bright.A hot but small star, would appear dim at a close distance.However, in all likelihood the answer you might be looking for is either:Neutron Star - Very small and very hotWhite Dwarf - Small and very hot
What is A small hot dim star that is the left over center of an old star?
white dwarf
What is an example of a hot star which is not very bright?
This could be a white dwarf. Its essentially a `dead star` as nuclear reactions no longer take place, but it remains very hot for millions of years from residue heat. They are very small though, compared with other stars or the size they used to be. If a hot bright star is very very far from earth then this also will appear dim from earth. It may have a low apparent magnitude (but a high absolute magnitude).
Do stars that are very hot and very dim have a small mass or a small radius?
stars that are dim probably have both a small mass and a larger radius.
What is the nearset star to the sun?
Proxima Centauri is a very dim red dwarf star, but it is the closest star to our own sun, at a distance of 4.2 light years.
Is a white dwarfs hot and dim or hot and bright?

What do you call a tiny and very hot star?
It is called a neutron star.
What kind of star is hot and has a very small radius?
north star
What is one fact about a star?
They are very hot.
