Why does the red shift of galaxies provide evidence that the universe is expanding?

It means that the light from galaxies is losing energy. The only reasonable explanation for this is the cosmoligical redshift - that is, that the Universe is expanding.


What is the red shift of light from most galaxies is evidence that?

The most plausible explanation for the redshift is that galaxies are moving away from us. This is similar to the Doppler effect, but it is normally believed that space itself is expanding, so the situation is a bit different from the "normal" Doppler effect.


What is the possessive form of galaxies?

The possessive form for the plural noun galaxies is galaxies'.Example: Their galaxies' paths do not coordinate.


What are galaxies classified as?

Galaxies are classified based on their shape and structure. The main types of galaxies are spiral, elliptical, and irregular. Spiral galaxies have distinct arms of stars, elliptical galaxies are more oval-shaped with older stars, and irregular galaxies have a less defined shape.


How red shift connect with universe expanding?

The expansion of the Universe results in the light from faraway galaxies being redshifted. This is called the "cosmological redshift"; it can be compared with the Doppler effect (which also causes a redshift), but the details are somewhat difference.It is an observed fact that most galaxies are redshifted; the explanation that seems most reasonable is that it is caused by the cosmological redshift. This means that space itself is expanding.

What type of galaxy is the dimmest?

There are galaxies that orbit our galaxy that are believed to be filled with a lot of dark matter. Segue 1 is one of about two dozen dwarf galaxies around ours that have light outputs equal to only a few hundred times that of our sun. There are probably untold numbers of other such galaxies around the more visible galaxies. This is a possible explanation for the discrepancy in the predicted mass of the universe and the observed mass. Some theories postulate that 90% of the mass of the universe is composed of this unobservable "dark matter". The existence of these dim dwarf galaxies help explain the discrepancy.

How does light from distant galaxy . galaxy out side of 32000000 light years support the big bang theory?

The light from distant galaxies is redshifted. The only reasonable explanation for that is that the galaxies are moving away from us.
