Three things: 1. Some stars are of such a temperature that much of the energy is in the form of red light (we call these "M" stars); 2. Doppler effects of rapidly receding stars shift their light towards the red of the spectrum (hence, "red shift"); 3. obscuring dust, either in space or the atmosphere (happens every sundown).

Interstellar reddening is caused by what?

A downward shift in frequency of radiation (perceived as reddening in the visible spectrum) is observed in most stars outside the Milky Way Galaxy. This red shift is assumed to be caused by the stars moving away from our galaxy at a sizable fraction of the speed of light. This shift is similar to the Doppler effect in sound.


Why are distant stars redder than nearby stars of the same spectral type?

Distant stars appear redder because of interstellar dust and gas that scatters and absorbs light, causing longer wavelengths (redder colors) to be more prominent. This effect, known as reddening, is more pronounced for light from distant stars due to the increased path length through interstellar medium.

Why reddening occur in red rot of sugarcane?

Red rot of sugarcane is a fungal disease caused by Colletotrichum falcatum. Reddening occurs due to the production of pigments such as anthocyanin by the plant in response to the infection. These pigments give the affected tissues a red coloration, leading to the characteristic reddening seen in red rot of sugarcane.

What effect does interstellar dust have on the light from distant stars?

Interstellar dust scatters and absorbs light, causing it to appear redder and dimmer. This reddening effect is known as interstellar extinction, which can make it challenging to accurately measure the properties of distant stars. Scientists use techniques like infrared and radio astronomy to study objects behind interstellar dust.
