Answer to Question 1

On Venus, water and carbon dioxide remained in the atmosphere. Over time, ultraviolet light split the water molecules and the hydrogen escaped to space. Thus, Venus has no more water today and an atmosphere thick with carbon dioxide. On Earth, water condensed to rain and eventually formed the oceans. Carbon dioxide was absorbed in the oceans and is now locked up in carbonate rocks. Thus, most of the water on Earth remains in the oceans, and most of the carbon dioxide is in rocks, leaving a much thinner atmosphere than that of Venus.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
