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

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.
