Answer:

The Greeks attributed magnitude 1 to the brightest star seen in the night sky.

Explanation:

The Greeks created a system of magnitude based on the brightness of stars in the northern sky. It is not known for sure which astronomer was responsible for this, although many believe Hipparchus or Alexander Ptolemy is the creator.

These magnitude systems related the star's apparent brightness to its actual size. That way the brighter the star appeared in the night sky, the bigger its real size would be. For the brightest stars, magnitude 1 was associated.

Part 1: Why is Fresh Water in Short Supply?
shepuryov [24]

Part 1;

Because there is only limited amounts of fresh water on the Earth the rest is salt water; which humans can not survive on as the salt dehydrates our bodies instead of hydrates.

1) The more we try to get the the fresh water the more we will likely make more pollution.

2) The more we use the less there is.

3) Everything needs water.

Part 2; no idea I believe it is the ice caps, as it is fresh water in the ice caps and not a lot of humans up there to pollute the runoff.
