Answer to Question 1

For relatively recent events, we can look at the human historical record as written in books, painted on rocks, or just passed on orally from generation to generation. There are several such examples that pertain to astronomical phenomena such as comets and supernovae. In the case of events that happened before humans existed, we have to look at evidence in the Earth's geological record. An example is the iridium layer that suggests a massive explosion the spread ejecta around the globe. We can also use radioisotope dating where we use the known timescale for the decay of a radioactive element to measure the age of an object such as a meteorite.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
