A star like Alpha Canis Majoris (Sirius A) can be extremely hot yet emit relatively little light if it has a specific size, age, or composition that affects its luminosity. For instance, if a star is relatively small or in a later stage of its life cycle, it may have high temperatures but lower overall energy output. Additionally, factors such as its distance from Earth and interstellar dust can also impact the visibility of the light it produces. Thus, a star can be hot but still appear dim due to these various factors.
