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
What is A small hot dim star that is the left over center of an old star?
white dwarf
What 3 factors affect how bright a star appears from earth?
The 3 factors that affect a star's brightness as viewed from earth, are: The star's age, distance from earth, and actual magnitude (scale a star's brightness is measured in).
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).
A star that is very hot but dim is a?
That might be 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.
If a star has a large absolute brightness value but a low apparent brightness value is the star close or far away?
If a star IS very bright but LOOKS fairly dim, it must be far away.
Why is it difficult to perceive color in dim light?
Your retina has more than one type of cell that perceives and transmits light. Cones are cells that respond to color, but they respond best in bright light. In very dim light, the cells that respond to light are called rods, which are blind to color.
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.
What is a small dim star that is the leftover center of an old star?
a white dwarf
Does it make sense that a cool star should be dim?
no
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.

A star of magnitude plus 8 is?
A star with a magnitude of +8 is "very dim", and not visible in urban or suburban areas. Only in the darkest rural areas, and only for people with EXCELLENT eyes, would a +8 magnitude star be visible.
