Would an object have a greater gravitational pull closer or farther from earth?
An object have greater gravitational pull closer from earth. As we get farther from earth, the gravitational pull becomes weaker. That is why objects sufficiently away from the earth do not fall on it.
Does a red shift means that are moving closer to earth?
No. A red shift indicates that the object is moving away from the earth.
Is the sun closer to earth than a star?
The sun is a star, the closest one to Earth. The next nearest star to Earth is about 265,000 times farther away than the sun is.
Is a star shifting to the red spectrum moving closer or farther from us?
If it were moving it would be moving away from our perspective. However, just because a star is shifting spectrum does not mean that it is moving; it could be entering the next stage of the star life cycle.
How does the moon temperature compare to earth's temperature?
the moon gets farther and closer to the sun than the earth because as you should know the planets roatate and when the moon of the earth is directed at the sun it is hotter than the earth because it is closer to the moon. and when the moon is on the oppsite side it is colder than the earth because the sun is farther away than the earth.
Is it true that the farther away from Earth a galaxy is the slower it is moving?
incorrect. The farther away from earth a galaxy is, the faster it is moving.
What are the caueses of climate change?
You know, being closer to the sun as it revolves around the earth, searing heat and blinding sunshine, earth moving farther away from the sun, etc.

No. A red shift indicates that the object is moving away from the earth.
Over millions of years is the Earth getting closer to the Sun or farther away from the Sun?
The Earth is getting very, very slightly farther away from the Sun over time, due to tidal forces.
Do sound waves move closer or farther away from a vibrating object?
farther away
Is Neptune closer to the Sun or to the Earth?
Earth. Neptune is the farthest planet away. Since the Sun is totally far away, this makes Neptune closer to Earth. Its like " the sun, a couple of planets including Earth, and then Neptune".
If you wanted to enjoy longer periods of daylight in the summertime would you move closer to the equator or farther away from it?
You would move farther away from the equator because of the tilt of Earth's axis.
What causes the difference in temperature in summer and winter?
In the summer the part of the Earth that is summer is closer and in the winter it is farther away.
What are sesons caused by?
The seasons are caused by the tilt of the earth relative to the sun. The earths axis is tilted and not perfectly parallel with the sun's axis. This means that as the earth circles the sun half the planet will be closer to the sun then the other. When half is closer that is summer. (closer = hotter). When it is farthest away that is winter (father = colder). Spring and fall are the transition times in between. When the tilt is moving away from the sun it is getting farther and farther away and getting colder...(fall). When it gets closer then it gets warmer leading to spring. Food for thought....when its summer in the USA..its winter in Australia
What to things causes the seasons to happen on earth?
The earth revolves around the sun, as it gets farther away, it becomes winter and closer summer.
How many different directions are you moving while sitting on a chair?
It depends on your reference point. You are moving when you move farther away from one reference point and closer to another. So an example of this could be that the floor is one reference point, and the ceiling is another. If you jump up, you would move closer to the ceiling and farther away from the floor. If you and a friend are your reference points, and you throw a ball to your friend, the ball moved bacause it went farther from you, and closer to your friend! That is how you know an object is moving! Now, technically we are always moving... the earth is moving! So if you are thinking about it like that, then maybe the sun is one reference point, and Mars could be the other! Who knows! But it just all depends on your reference point!
