The explanation for the differences in wavelength observed from earth and a distant star with a shift towards the red end of the spectrum is the Redshift- Doppler effect.

<h3>What is the Doppler effect?</h3>

The Doppler effect is the difference that occur between the frequency of a wave in relation to observer from the wave source.

The wavelength changes with change in the frequency.

<h3>How does the Doppler effect explain the redshift?</h3>

As an object moves away from Earth, the waves moves to the red end of the electromagnetic spectrum and becomes elongated. This results to the increase in wavelength.

Therefore, the explanation for the differences in wavelength observed from earth and a distant star with a shift towards the red end of the spectrum is the redshift-Doppler effect.

In the professor latilong activity, what information were you given to help you find each artifact? a. time zones b. continents
GenaCL600 [577]

In the professor Latilong activity, Longtitude and Latitude information were  given to help you find each artifact.

Latitude and Longitude, coordinate system by means of which the position or location of any place on earth's  surface can be determined and described. Latitude is a nonexistent line on a globe or map running from north or south of the equator. Whereas, Longitude is a measurement of location running east or west of the prime meridian at Greenwich.

     Longitude is the amount of arc created by drawing a line from Earth's center to the intersection of the equator and the prime meridian and then another line from Earth's center to any point elsewhere on the equator. In Geographic latitude the arc subtended by the equatorial plane and the normal line can be drawn at a given point on earth's surface.
