How many red dwarf stars are there?
Impossible to answer because they are dim stars so we can only see the close ones.
Why are dwarf stars dim?
Dwarf stars are dim because they are smaller and cooler than other types of stars. Their lower temperature and smaller surface area result in less light being emitted compared to larger, hotter stars. This makes them appear dimmer when observed from a distance.
Is a white dwarfs hot and dim or hot and bright?
As the name white dwarf implies, this is a small type of star, and it has less surface area from which to radiate light, so even if it is hot, and giving off lots of light per square mile, there are fewer square miles than in larger, non-dwarf stars, so there is less total light being emitted.
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.
Are white dwarf stars cold?
The brightness of a star depends (a) on its temperature, which affects the amount of radiation emitted per square meter, and (b) the total surface area. A white dwarf has a very small surface area - around 1 / 10,000 the area of our Sun.White dwarf stars are the compressed cores of a dead star, so it is very hot. Since a white dwarf is also small, it emits less light than most stars, so they are dim.

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.
How much power does a star in your galaxy have?
Every star is different. Some stars are millions of times brighter than our Sun, while some stars are so small that they barely glow at all. We can easily see the big, bright stars - but we have no idea how many tiny "red dwarf" or "brown dwarf" stars there might be. They are so dim, that we cannot see them from so far away.
Why are thre so many dwarf stars - red and white - among the nearest stars but none among the brightest stars?
Because dwarf stars aren't very bright. They are too SMALL to be especially bright, for one thing.
Do Dwarf galaxies contain only dwarf stars?
Dwarf galaxies merely refer to the size of the galaxy itself, not the stars in the galaxy, so no.

What happens to stars which are less massive than sun?
Stars with more than about 80% of the Sun's mass behave like the Sun. They should eventually become red giant stars then white dwarf stars. Stars with mass of between about 8% and 80% of the Sun's mass are red dwarf stars. Below that come the "brown dwarfs, which aren't really true stars at all. The red dwarfs cannot fuse helium, so they simply become "white dwarf" stars when they have used up all their hydrogen "fuel".
What is a small hot star that is near the end of its life called?
There are small hot stars - White dwarfs, neutron stars but by furtue that they are hot, means they are not near the end of their lives. It takes a long long time for all the residual heat to escape into the Universe. So, there are NO hot stars near the end of it's life.

Why dwarf stars are so bright?
Dwarf stars are NOT "so much Bright", the smaller the star is (provided it is on the main sequence) the less intrinsically bright it is.
