MacBook Air 2017 Dual Display

I have a macbook air from 2017 and it has one thunderbolt 2 port. Is there any way to connect this to two monitors? I'm reading mixed information saying that thunderbolt 2 ports can support it but that my 2017 version cannot?

Can I connect more than 1 display to my 2022 M2 Macbook Pro 13"? I have 2 identical monitors that both support HDMI in and Displayport. How can I use them both as an external display (NOT mirroring)? Can I hook one monitor up to each of my Thunderbolt ports with an adapter and it work? How come this computer can support a ridiculous singular 8k display but not 2 4k 60hz?

The MacBook Air only supports one external monitor. This Apple spec sheet describes external video support: MacBook Air (13-inch, 2017) - Technical Specifications
