What did the astronnmer Edwin Hubble discover about the relationship between the distance of a galaxy and the rate at which it is receding?
He discovered that the farther away a galaxy was, the faster it was moving away from Earth.
Why is Jupiter moving slower than earth around the sun shouldn't farther from the sun and heavier than the earth mean faster?
Jupiter moves slower than earth around the sun because the distance between the them is much farther than earth's distance to the sun. Gravity has a stronger pull on earth because gravity depends on the masses and the distance between the objects. (Sun)---->Earth (Sun)---- - - - - - - ->Jupiter
What is the relationship between galaxy's distance from earth and the speed?
The farther away the galaxy is from ours the faster it moves from our galaxy.
Is the moon moving closer to the Earth or farther away?
The moon is moving further away by 1.5cm from the Earth every year.
Does earth move faster or slower when in an elliptical orbit?
Slower or faster than what? - When the Earth is nearer the Sun (periapsis), it moves faster than when it is farther away from the Sun (apapsis).
Which planet has the slower orbital speed Saturn or Jupiter?
Saturn is slower because it is farther from the sun. The farther away a planet is from the sun, the slower its orbital speed.
What did Edwin hubble discover about the motion of the 46 galaxies?
Edwin Hubble discovered that the majority of galaxies are moving away from Earth, leading to the formulation of Hubble's Law. He observed a correlation between a galaxy's distance from Earth and its recessional velocity, indicating that the farther a galaxy is, the faster it is moving away. This discovery provided strong evidence for the expansion of the universe and fundamentally changed our understanding of cosmology.
Is the Black Eye galaxy moving toward away or neither from Earth?
The Black Eye Galaxy [See Link] has a redshift of 0.001361, so it is moving away from us. Currently at 24 million light years from Earth
Why is the Andromeda galaxy moving toward earth?
Sorry, Andromeda and earth are moving away from each other, not towards each other.
Are any of the galaxies moving toward earth?
Yes. Andromeida galaxy.
If a galaxy is moving towards the earth what direction does its spectrum move?
If a galaxy is moving towards the Earth, its spectrum will be blueshifted. This means that the wavelengths of its emitted light are compressed, resulting in a shift towards the blue end of the spectrum.
How do the speeds at which most nearby galaxies are moving away from the earth compare to the speeds of distant galaxies that are moving away from earth?
Distant galaxies are moving away from Earth at faster speeds compared to nearby galaxies. This is due to the expansion of the universe, where galaxies farther away experience a greater redshift, indicating faster recession velocities. This relationship is described by Hubble's Law, which states that the recessional velocity of a galaxy is directly proportional to its distance from us.
