Let's start with hats
a hat, I would talk about the brim of a hat, it's the flat bit that goes around the edge
I think I had also has a rim, the rim is the very outside part of it
whereas the brim is the whole thing
many where your head fits this circle on the inside might also be the rim as well
so notice, a rim is a line, whereas normally a brim is a flat surface
the brim it comes up and it holds things, whereras a rim is just this outer edge
we use rim to talk about the edge of something
2)
now, we normally use brim when we are talking about three dimensions to fill things to the brim
I filled the glass to the brim, I guess you could fill it to the rim as well
normally use the word brim whe you are filling soemthing
a cup can have a rim, the rim of the cup was chipped but I fill my cup to the brim
my cup was brimming with coffee
you can have glasses without rims, the rims are the edge, the frame of the glasses
you could have half-rim glasses as well
rims of spectacles
it's gold rimmed spectacles
to rim as a verb as well. to play something on the edge
cocktail glass was rimmed with sugar, the sugar went round the very top line
the cocktail glass was brimming with cocktail, full of cocktail

I think if you think about tires and wheels
you have the rim for a car wheel, is this metal part that you put the rubber wheel around and that is a rim
I had a flat tire and I had to drive on the rims
the same with a bicycle wheel, this metal bit that goes around the edge. I woud not use a brim for that
wheel rim
4)
the rim of a canyon, a canyon is like a valley or a big crack in the earth and the rim is the line at the edge
I think the canyon maybe it could be filled to the brim with water because it's been raining
5)
the spacecraft has reached the rim of the universe, the absolute edge of it
his eyes were rimmed in red, there was red all around the outside of his eyes
the rim of the galaxy
if you have a bath and you are really really dirty, you let the water out and there is a rim of dirt around the inside
a rim of dirt
his eyes were brimming with tears, were full of tears
Formality : 5 for both of them
