What is false
200
an apparent shift toward longer wavelengths of light that is caused when a luminous object moves AWAY from the observer
What is redshift
200
the time it takes for the earth to make one full rotation on its axis
What is a day
200
the path of an object around another
What is orbit
300
what is the Doppler Effect?
What is an increase (or decrease) in the frequency of sound, light, or other waves as the source and observer move toward (or away from) each other
300
an apparent shift toward shorter wavelengths of light that is caused when a luminous object moves towards the observer
What is blueshift
300
stars that can be seen at all times of year and all times of night
What are circumpolar stars
300
what is inertia
What is the tendency of an object to resist being moved or, if the object is moving, to resist a change in speed or direction until an outside force acts on the object
300
what is the angle between an object and the horizon?
What is altitude
400

why do astronomers study distant galaxies
Looking at distant galaxies reveals what early galaxies looked like.

How is the spectrum of a star different than that of a regular spectrum?
A star's spectrum gives astronomers information about the composition and temperature of a star, while a regular spectrum is the band of colors produced when white light passes through a prism

name one of newton's 3 laws of motion
What is (1)An object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion remains in motion at constant speed and in a straight line unless acted on by an unbalanced force. (2)The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied. (3)Whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first.
