Answer to Question 1

True

Answer to Question 2

When a main sequence star becomes a red giant, the outer layers are loosely held by gravity. This allows the star to lose significant amounts of mass through a strong stellar wind. This mass loss is increased during helium shell burning, when unstable conditions can cause the core energy generation to flare.The mass loss creates an expanding shell or shells of hydrogen gas moving away from the star. If the object left in the center of the expanding shell is hot enough, the gas will become ionized and glow with hydrogen emission forming a planetary nebula.After the outer layers of the star are ejected, the remaining core is not hot enough to sustain fusion. It contracts, becoming a small, hot object known as a white dwarf.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
