Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
The author is probably reminding us that knowing the origins of words helps us to remember what they mean.
If "verde" means "green", the "verd" in "verdigris" probably means that verdigris is green.
However, the "verd" in verdigris domes from other languages.
It was originally Latin "viride aeris" (green brass).
In old French it became "verte de Grèce" (green of Greece). The modern French spelling is "vert-de-gris" (green of grey).
The English word "verdigris" comes from the French words.

Answer:
Space junk is travelling so fast that a collision with an astronaut or a spacecraft could be disastrous.
Explanation:
Space junk orbits the Earth at speeds of about 28 000 km/h.
That's so fast that even an orbiting fleck of paint has enough kinetic energy to cause impact craters on the surface of a spacecraft. They are even more dangerous to an astronaut on a space walk.
Much of the space debris is larger and more dangerous than a fleck of paint.
One rough estimate of the amount of space debris is
<em> </em><u>Size</u><em> </em> <u>Number of objects</u>
< 1 cm 200 000 000
1 cm to 10 cm 700 000
> 10 cm 30 000
Satellites, etc. 18 000
The chances of collision are small, but any collision can be disastrous.
