Redshifting of a star refers to the phenomenon where the light emitted by the star is shifted towards longer wavelengths, typically in the red part of the spectrum. This occurs due to the Doppler effect, where the star is moving away from the observer, causing the wavelengths of its light to stretch. Redshift can indicate the star's velocity and distance from Earth, with greater redshifts often associated with objects that are farther away in the universe. It is a crucial concept in understanding the expansion of the universe and the movement of celestial bodies.
