Does the medium of space make distance stars appear to be more red shifted only because they are farther away?
Gravityguru
Distant stars appear red shifted because they are travelling away from Earth. It just happens that more distant stars are moving faster, so there is a greater red-shift the further a star is from the Earth.

According to Hubble's law what do the farthest galaxies in the universe appear to be doing?
Receding from each other faster the farther away they are. He saw they were "red shifted" and the red shift was greater the farther away the galaxy was. This mean that the Universe is expanding.
Why do other stars appear smaller than your stars?
Because they are farther away
How do you create distance in landscape paintings?
The effect of distance in landscape painting is achieved by use of "atmospheric perspective." This is the practice of using haze to suggest distance. Two mountains in the background can appear equal in apparent size, yet different in lightness. This means that the lighter mountain is, in fact, bigger, because it is much farther away. The haze of the atmosphere obscures objects more, the farther they are away.
Why do distant galaxies appear to be moving away from each other the farther they are from your planet?
Because you touch yourself at night
Why does nighttime stars appear so much smaller than the sun?
because nightime stars are farther away
What term describes the wavelengths of light from a star that appear to be longer than they actually are?

Does the size of an object appear to change as the observer moves closer to or farther away from the object?
Yes, the closer you get the bigger the object will appear but to only the size of the object really is, and the farther away you get the small it will get
As a celestial object moves farther away from the viewer it will appear .?
smaller
Why do the planets look so small from Earth?
because the further you get away from earth it to gets smaller .... and its the same concept from earth.... the farther you are from the planets the smaller they appear.
What is vertical placement?
Obejects on a painting that appear high seem farther and those that appear lower in the picutre seem closer.

Why are stars in the night sky so much smaller than our star?
They are not. The stars at night only appear smaller than the sun because they are much farther away.
