The Doppler affect
Doppler effect
The Doppler effect helps measure the speed of moving objects. The most common Doppler effect is the sound of a police siren, as it passes you. The sound of the siren remains constant to the person in the vehicle, but as it approaches you, the pitch, or frequency appears to lower.
The change in frequency is caused by the Doppler Effect

The Doppler affect
It can tell us whether a star, or a galaxy, is moving towards us or away from us.
It tells us that the Universe is expanding.
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.
There are 155 Doppler radars across the US and around 122 local offices.
Doppler effect
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.
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).
When an object moves away from us, or towards us.
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.
