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.


What is the redshift distance relationship and how does it impact our understanding of the universe?

The redshift distance relationship is a phenomenon in astronomy where the light from distant objects in space appears to be shifted towards the red end of the spectrum. This shift is caused by the expansion of the universe, known as the Doppler effect. By measuring the redshift of objects, scientists can determine their distance from Earth. This relationship helps us understand the size, age, and expansion rate of the universe, as well as the distribution of galaxies and the overall structure of the cosmos.


What is the difference between the cosmological and Doppler red shift?

Red shift is the change in the spectra of galaxies towards being more red than we would expect them to be. Doppler Shift results from galaxies being in motion away from us. Thus, the large Andromeda Galaxy has a blue shift, because it and our Milky Way Galaxy are being pulled towards each other due to gravity. Cosmological Shift results from the space between us and other galaxies growing larger over time, even though neither they nor our Milky Way Galaxy are in motion relative to one another.


Can breathing on a diamond tell you if it is real?

No, breathing on a diamond will not help you determine if it is real or not. The best way to determine the authenticity of a diamond is through professional testing by a gemologist or using specialized equipment.


What do the astrologers call our galaxy?

We (the carbon units who inhabit the Earth) have named our galaxy the "Milky Way". If there's anybody else out there, we have no idea what they call our galaxy, or whether they care.
