There could be many answers as dim and hot are mutually exclusive
Brightness (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 hot
- White Dwarf - Small and very hot

Red-hot and blue-hot stars appear white to the eye because?
they are too dim to fire the cones
Why are stars dim?
Stars are dim because we are not close to space; it's a far distance so we can't see the stars very well, unless we have telescopes. That changes everything.
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
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 best describes stars?
hot,dim stars.
What best describes giant star?
hot, bright stars
Which category of stars is extremely hot and dim?
White dwarves.
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.
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.
Red-hot and blue-hot stars appear white to the eye because?
they are too dim to fire the cones
When was Stars Go Dim created?
Stars Go Dim was created in 2007.
What type of stars can the naked eye not see?
Stars can be seen (in perfect conditions with perfect eyesight) as dim as 6th magnitude. This includes all types of star. Stars which are either too far away or too intrinsically dim cannot be seen.
Why are White Dwarf stars so dim?
White dwarfs are dim because they are small, and small stars radiate less light.
Why is it that there are main sequence stars which are hot and others are cool and dim?
some stars are hotter than others because they have more hydrogen to use and create heat with. BTW- answered by a 6th grader.
Where on the Main Sequence are stars cool and dim?
None of them are cool and dim; the one in the white/black dwarfs are cool and dim.
