What else can I help you with?
Why do distant galaxies appear to be moving away from each other the farther they are from your planet?
Because you touch yourself at night
How fast are galaxies moving away from each other in the expanding universe?
Galaxies in the expanding universe are moving away from each other at speeds proportional to their distance, with more distant galaxies moving faster. This phenomenon is known as the expansion of the universe.
What info has Hubble contributed astronomy?
He gave the idea that the universe is expanding, which has a lot of supporting data currently. The galaxies in the universe appear to be moving away from each other.
What directions do galaxies move?
Most move away from us, and each other.
Are galaxys moving away from each other which means the universe is contracting?
No.More specifically:Not all galaxies are moving away from each other. The Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies are moving towards each other (and at a pretty good clip, too: about 300 km/s). The entire "local group" of galaxies is moving in the general direction of something called the "Shapley Supercluster".Very distant galaxies do tend to be moving away from each other, but that means the universe is expanding, not contracting.
What best describes how galaxies generally move 1 toward each other 2 away from one another 3 randomly 4 galaxies do not move?
The general tendency is for galaxies to move away from each other, in other words, the Universe is expanding. Only in our "immediate neighborhood" will you also find some galaxies that move towards us.
Are most galaxies moving toward or away from each other?
Most galixies are micing away from each other, at a constantly accelerating pace as time passes.
According to Hubble's law what do the farthest galaxies in the universe appear to be doing?
Receding from each other faster the farther away they are. He saw they were "red shifted" and the red shift was greater the farther away the galaxy was. This mean that the Universe is expanding.
Do galaxies farther go faster than ones closer?
Yes, in general, galaxies that are farther away from us tend to be moving away at faster speeds. This is due to the expansion of the universe, where the farther apart two objects are, the faster they appear to be moving away from each other. This phenomenon is described by Hubble's law.
What does the big bang theory say about the movement of galaxies?
The Big bang theory states that the galaxies are in fact moving away from each other
Are there planets inside of galaxies?
Yes. Our own solar system is part of the Milky Way galaxy. Thousands of other systems with planets have been discovered in our galaxy. The number of planets in our galaxy alone prbably numbers in the billions.
What affect does the big bang have on the movement of galaxies?
Other than our local cluster of galaxies, all galaxies are speeding away from each other. The farther away the galaxy, the faster it is moving away. This seems to be contrary to gravitation effects and seems to be related to the "big bang" of 13 billion (or so) years ago.
