No. While a red dwarf star is quite dim compared to the sun. Viewed from up close, such a star would still be blindingly bright.


Is polaris a white dwarf?

Polaris is not a white dwarf. If it was you wouldn't be able to see it. Polaris is in fact a multiple star system, that just looks like one star. The brightest star is a bright giant with a spectral type of F7 - so it will appear as a yellow-white star.


What is an explosion seen when a white dwarf captures H from a companion star?

When a white dwarf star accretes hydrogen from a companion star, it can trigger a runaway nuclear fusion reaction that causes a sudden and bright increase in brightness called a nova. This explosion is not as powerful as a supernova, and the white dwarf usually survives to potentially experience multiple nova events.

Can you give an example of a hot star which is not very bright?

A white dwarf star can be very hot due to residual heat from its earlier evolution, but it may not be very bright because of its small size. This is because the heat energy is spread over a smaller surface area compared to larger, brighter stars.
