What can the Doppler effect tell us about in astronomy?

It can tell us whether a star, or a galaxy, is moving towards us or away from us.


What does the Doppler Effect tell astronomers about the universe?

It tells us that the Universe is expanding.


What does the Doppler affect tell astronomers about a star?

The star attracts the planet; the planet attracts the star. As a result of the latter, the star changes position. If this change is such that the star moves away from us during one part of the planet's orbit, and towards us at another (or more generally, the star's speed towards us, or away from us, changes slightly), then this can be detected as a Doppler shift.


How many Doppler radars are in the US?

There are 155 Doppler radars across the US and around 122 local offices.

How can you tell that some galaxies are far away and moving rapidly towards us?

You can tell by the blueshift in the spectrum; the only reasonable explanation for this blueshift is the Doppler effect. - Please note that most galaxies are moving away from us, not towards us.

First, tell us what it is.


How does the Doppler shift determine the distance of Sirius?

It doesn't. The Doppler shift can tell you how fast something is moving towards us or away from us; not how far it is. Only in the case of distant galaxies can this be used to estimate the galaxy's distance, because of the expansion of the Universe (galaxies that move away from us faster are generally farther away).


The Doppler shift can be observed when?

When an object moves away from us, or towards us.


Does a star that shows no Doppler shift move?

If there is no observable Doppler shift, then the star is probably not moving very fast. This refers to the component of the star's movement toward us, or away from us - the "sideways" part of the movement can't be determined by the Doppler effect.
