They do not use units: they use the fact that stars are not galaxies. For example, you don't use units to measure the difference between children and countries.

How was the evidence for hubble law collected?

The evidence for Hubble's Law, which shows the relationship between distance and recession velocity of galaxies, was collected through observing the redshift of light from galaxies. Astronomers used spectroscopy to measure the redshift of galaxies, which is caused by the Doppler effect as the galaxies move away from us. By studying the redshift of galaxies at different distances, astronomers were able to support the idea that the universe is expanding.


Will astronomers measure redshifts of 100 billion galaxies in the observable universe?

No. We do not have time to make so many measurements.


Edwin Hubble demonstrated that distant galaxies existed by measuring which type of stars?

Edwin Hubble used Cepheid variable stars to measure the distances to galaxies. These stars have a relationship between their luminosity and pulsation period, allowing astronomers to calculate their distance based on their observed brightness.


What is a Long unit of measure for great distances?

The parsec is 3.26 light years. Astronomers measure distances to remote galaxies in megaparsecs--millions of parsecs. This is about the longest commonly used length metric.


How do astronomers measure it?

How do they measure what?


The Doppler effect applies to light waves as well as sound waves. Astronomers use this to measure the motion of stars and galaxies. In 1929 Edwin Hubble discovered that light from distant galaxies was?

shifted to longer wavelengths, indicating that the galaxies were moving away from us. This observation led to the development of the theory of the expanding universe.


Differences between parasternal and co operative?

How do astronomers use pictures of distancee galaxies to determine the age of the universe?

The general tendency is for galaxies that are farther away from us, to move away from us faster. This can give a rough idea of a galaxy's distance, just by observing its redshift (which is a measure of how fast it moves away from us).


What type of measurement is used to measure the distance between the milky way galaxy and other galaxies?
