Red shift occurs when an object moves away from the observer. So as you are on Earth, it is when objects move away from Earth. (Blue shift as it moves closer.)

A star's red shift could be due to losing energy to gravity.

Does a red shift indicates that objects are moving toward earth true or false?

No. A redshift means that the light has lost energy; one way for this to happens is if galaxies or other objects moveaway from us.


Why are objects on earth attached to the earth but not to each other?

Objects on Earth are attached to it due to the force of gravity, which pulls them toward the planet's center. While objects do exert gravitational forces on each other, these forces are relatively weak compared to the Earth's gravitational pull, especially for small objects. As a result, the Earth's gravity dominates, keeping objects anchored to it rather than causing them to clump together. Additionally, other forces, such as friction and air resistance, also play a role in keeping objects from moving freely toward one another.


What is the force that that pulls all objects toward the earth?

Gravity is the force that pulls all objects toward the Earth. It is a fundamental force of nature that is responsible for keeping everything on the Earth's surface.


What direction does earth pull objects?

The force of mutual gravitational attraction between the earth and any other object pulls the object toward the center of the earth, and pulls the earth toward the center of the object. Both pulls have equal strength.


Does gravity pull objects down toward earth?

yes gravity pulls object toward the earth Here on Earth, the force of gravity does indeed pull objects down toward the Earth. But bear in mind that gravity is a universal force. On the planet Mars, for example, gravity pulls objects toward Mars. All objects in the universe have their own gravitational force, the strength of which depends upon how massive the object is. The sun is much heavier than the Earth, and the gravitational attraction of the sun is enormously greater than that of the Earth.

When the wavelength of a spectral line emitted from an object increases which end of the visible light spectrum does not move toward and what is the objects motion relative to earth?

Increasing wavelength is an indication of a Doppler shift caused by an object moving away from the viewer. Longer wavelengths (of the visible spectrum) are redder, shorter wavelengths are bluer. Objects moving away from you have a red shift, objects moving toward you have a blue shift.


What part of the Earth do objects fall toward?

Objects fall toward the center of the Earth due to the force of gravity pulling them downwards.


When the wavelength of spectral emitted from an objectincreases which end of the visiblelight spectrum does ti move toward and what is the objects motion relative to earth?

When the wavelength of spectral light emitted from an object increases, it moves towards the red end of the visible light spectrum, also known as the redshift. This indicates that the object is moving away from Earth.

What force draws objects toward earth?

Gravity


If the Earth rotates from the west to the east why do the sun and stars move from the east to the west?

They are not actually, moving, they just appear to be moving because we are. Consider that if you are on a train moving forward, objects that you pass by appear to move toward the read of the train.

What force pulls all objects toward the center of the earth?

Gravity is the force that pulls all objects toward the center of the Earth. This force is caused by the mass of the Earth creating a gravitational field that attracts objects towards the center of the planet.
