What is an increase in the wavelength of light as a galaxy moves away from earth?
Red Shift
What is the best term to describe how light waves from a star are affected as the star moves away from Earth?
redshift
What happens when the space shuttle takes off and moves away fromm earth?
It masses increases and the weight increases
How much does the moon move away from earth each year?
The moon moves about 4cm away from the earth each year. This is because the moons orbit around the earth is tilted about 5 degrees. The moon is spiraling away from the earth and one day we might not have a moon.
How many light years away is Jupiter from Earth?
How many light years away is Jupiter from Earth when there closest?
What happens to light as it moves away from its source?
It dims......Nikki
Is the sun out at night?
yes it is. but the earth moves away from the sun at night and it moves out of its light and into darkness.
What happens to the shadow as this light source moves?
As you move farther away your shadow get bigger and goes away
What is an increase in the wavelength of light as a galaxy moves away from earth?
Red Shift
What happens to the strength of this gravitational field as an objects moves further away from Earth?
The further away from the Earth's surface you travel - the weaker the gravitational pull is.
What happens when the distance from the sun gets larger?
If the Earth moves further away from the sun we will freeze.
Why is it light in day time and dark in night time?
Because the earth moves away from the sun
What happens to the weight of an object when it moves farther away from the centre of the earth?
the weight of an object grows more
What is the best term to describe how light waves from a star are affected as the star moves away from Earth?
redshift
How can astronomers determine whether a star is moving towards or away from earth?
Astronomers determine whether a star is moving toward or away from the Earth via the Doppler effect. Imagine a motorcycle moving past you. As it drives towards you, it has a higher frequency, and a lower frequency when it drives away. The same thing happens with light. As an object moves towards us, its light has a higher frequency and lower wavelength - this is called blueshift. As an object moves away from us, its light has a lower frequency and higher wavelength - this is called redshift.
