Answer to Question 1

Older halo stars move in comet-like orbits, well above the plane of the Galaxy in a spherical distribution. The disk stars formed later, after most of the remaining gas and dust had settled down into a disk, flattened by the rotation of the condensing Galaxy. Their orbits are much more like those of planets, fairly circular and in the Galactic plane.

Answer to Question 2

B
