Answer to Question 1

The first stars formed from gas that was metal poor, and the only survivors of these early generations are low-mass, long-lived stars. Their spectra, which indicate the composition of their atmospheres and not their cores, still show the composition of the metal-poor gas from which they formed. Population I stars such as the Sun formed more recently, after the interstellar medium had been enriched in metals, and their spectra show stronger metal lines. Stars forming now have even higher metal abundances.

Answer to Question 2

potential; thermal
