<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The star is travelling away from the earth.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>A star’s temperature largely determines its color. </em>Stars with higher temperature have a bluish color and stars with low temperature appear red in color.  But the color of star that we observe from the earth is different from its actual color.

<em>This variation in color is due to Doppler effect. </em>When the movement of  a star is towards the earth the frequency shifts to the higher frequency region and when the movement is away from the earth the frequency of the light emitted will shift to the lower frequency region. <em>Color of light depends on the frequency. </em>

The color corresponding to the <em>lower frequency region</em> is red and color corresponding to <em>high frequency region</em> is blue. <em>So when the star moves away from the earth it appears red in color.</em>

5) Why is mimicry a helpful adaptation?
kompoz [17]
Ok so answer for 5 would be
5) a mimicry could be a great fully helpful adaption because as an example, the butterfly’s that blend in with trees, or the butterfly’s that look like birds, can either scare away predators or they can blend in.

6) as an example, a blue tongue skink has a blue tongue which is very common in venomous animals. Whenever said skink is threatened, it puffs up, opens its mouth, and hisses. When most predators see the tongue, they assume it’s venomous/poisonous because of the bright color. Another example would be milk snakes who look like coral snakes to scare away predators
