Answer to Question 1

Ionized helium is found only in O type stars, which should be blue-white in color; if the star appears orange, it must lie behind a thin dust cloud that is absorbing and scattering most of the shorter wave radiation that the star is sending into space; the star would, therefore, appear much blue and brighter if not for the dust cloud.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
