Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

The solar nebula theory predicts the Sun's heat would drive light gases far out, making the jovian planets form far out, and letting denser terrestrials form closer in. But most of the jovians yet discovered are quite close to their home stars, perhaps due to tidal interactions causing these planets to spiral inward after they formed farther out.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. 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. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
