It is called a white dwarf. It is the penultimate stage of a star the size of the Sun, which progresses with age from a yellow or orange star, to a red giant, to a white dwarf, and ultimately (after an immensely long period of time) a black dwarf. (There are no confirmed black dwarf stars because their formation may take much longer than the current age of the universe.)

What is A small hot dim star that is the left over center of an old star?
white dwarf
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.
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
A metaphor for stars?
Spoon full of stars by the dim light of the stars like a shooting star
Why are other stars so faint?
The father away the star is or smaller in size, the stars will appear dim and small
What best describes giant star?
hot, bright stars
Does Saturn have a bright or dim light?
A supergiant star has an atmosphere that extends far from the star's center. On a surface area basis, square meters say, the surface is very dim. But since the size is so great the overall brightness is high. Betelgeuse is a good example. The outer atmosphere is so tenuous that there is actually a star orbiting within it. But it is so large that it shines brightly at the right shoulder of Orion.
What is the dim star that forms from a collapsed red giant called?
It is called a white dwarf. It is the penultimate stage of a star the size of the Sun, which progresses with age from a yellow or orange star, to a red giant, to a white dwarf, and ultimately (after an immensely long period of time) a black dwarf. (There are no confirmed black dwarf stars because their formation may take much longer than the current age of the universe.)
What property of a star has the greatest effect on what the state of that star will be late in life?
It is very complicated to explain, because at the early age of life, a star can expand and contract, it can be light or dim, and many other things vary. But, Two main factors are what kind of nebula it is at birth, and weather later in its life, It is a red giant or a Supergiant (name of red giant given to a massive star)
What is the comparative and superlative forms of dim?
dimmer, dimmest
What is a small dim star that is the leftover center of an old star?
a white dwarf
Is a red giant star farther away then a red dwarf star from earth?
Red dwarf stars may be the most common stars throughout the galaxy, and possibly the universe. They are so dim, however, that they are difficult to see.The red dwarf Proxima Centauri is the closest star to our Sun; however, it is not visible without a telescope. Doubtless there are a great number of stars further away that are entirely lost to view because they are so dim.If two stars have approximately equal apparent magnitudes, the dim & tiny red dwarf star is far closer than the enormous red giant.
Does it make sense that a cool star should be dim?
no
A star that is very hot but dim is a?
That might be a white dwarf.
What is A small hot dim star that is the left over center of an old star?
white dwarf
How does a stars temperature change as the star ages from main sequence star to a red giant and from a red giant to a white dwarf?
A regular stars temperature cools as it balloons into a red giant. The color shift is evident by the word red because red is the coolest color of heat. The surface of a dying star is cool because it is so much farther away from the core than when it is on the main sequence. After a star sheds its 'skin' the only thing that is left is the white hot core, which will eventually dim to a brown dwarf which is nothing but the cool charred remains of the white dwarf and will give off little to no light.
Is the white dwarf the brightest star?
No; actually, white dwarves are rather dim.
