Answer to Question 1

The surface of the star maintains a fairly constant temperature but the size continues to shrink significantly. Since the luminosity depends on the square of the radius, as the radius decreases by a factor of 100, the luminosity drops by a factor of 10,000. The slight increase in surface temperature changes the luminosity only a little.

Answer to Question 2

Protons and electrons are the main constituents of the solar wind.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.

Though methadone is often used to treat dependency on other opioids, the drug itself can be abused. Crushing or snorting methadone can achieve the opiate "rush" desired by addicts. Improper use such as these can lead to a dangerous dependency on methadone. This drug now accounts for nearly one-third of opioid-related deaths.
