How is the Big Bang theory supported by the observed Doppler shift of galaxies?
Doppler shift shows that galaxies are moving away from each other at rates that depend on how far apart they are. According to the Big Bang Theory, the universe began with an enormous explosion. Then, the entire universe began to expand everywhere at the same time.The doppler shift shows that galaxies are moving away from each other at rates that depend on how far apart they are.
How did you discover the universe is expanding?
This can be seen from the redshift of distant galaxies - normally attributed to the Doppler effect.
Why does a expanding universe make more sense than a static universe?
Measurements of Doppler shift indicate that nearly all of the galaxies outside of our own cluster are moving away from us.
What Doppler shift do galaxies show?
Some nearby galaxies move towards us (blueshift), some move away from us (redshift). Galaxies that are farther away all move away from us (redshift); this means that the Universe is expanding.
What is the Doppler shift of galaxies?
It shows how galaxies are moving in relation to Earth.
Why big bang theory is presented?
It is quite clear, from the Doppler effect, that the Universe is expanding.It is quite clear, from the Doppler effect, that the Universe is expanding.It is quite clear, from the Doppler effect, that the Universe is expanding.It is quite clear, from the Doppler effect, that the Universe is expanding.
How is the Doppler effect used in astromomy?
It is used to determine whether an object is approaching us, or moving away from us. It turns out that - as can be seen from the Doppler effect - most galaxies are moving away from us. In other words, the Universe is expanding.
How did the Doppler effect lead to the Big Bang theory?
Actually, it wasn't the Doppler-effect that lead to the Big Bang theory, but the red-shift of remote galaxies. Although it was initially thought that this red-shift might be caused by a Doppler-effect, it is now understood that this red-shift is caused by the metric expansion of space itself.
Are galaxies shrinking?
No, actually, if the Doppler effect (if light is moving towards you, it takes on a blue tinge, but if light is moving away from you, light takes on a red tinge) is true, then galaxies are actually expanidng, just like the rest of the universe.
How does redshift support the notion of the expanding universe?
The redshift of distant galaxies is believed to be a result of the Doppler effect - in other words, the light is shifted towards lower frequencies ("redshifted") due to the fact that the galaxies move away from us.
How and did they figure out about the big bang?
One important clue is the Doppler effect - the redshift of distant galaxies. It turns out that the greater the distance to a galaxy, the faster it moves away from us.One important clue is the Doppler effect - the redshift of distant galaxies.

What are the best indications that the universe is expanding?
One of the best indications that the universe is expanding is the redshift of light from distant galaxies, which shows that they are moving away from us. Another indication is the cosmic microwave background radiation, which is consistent with an expanding universe. Additionally, observations of the distribution of galaxies and the large-scale structure of the universe support the idea of expansion.
