Answer to Question 2

L star spectra contain bands produced by molecules such as iron hydride. T star spectra show absorption by methane and water vapor. Because these molecules can't exist in high-temperature stars, these objects must be relatively cool.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
