Why do we see a gravitational redshift in the spectrum of the sun?

Geography
1 answer:
REY [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

When we talk about the <u>visible electromagnetic spectrum</u>, we know it starts in <u>violet-blue</u> and ends in <u>red</u>.  

In this context the astronomer <u>Edwin Powell Hubble </u>observed several celestial bodies, and when obtaining the spectra of distant galaxies he observed that the spectral lines were displaced towards the red one (red shift), whereas the nearby stars showed a spectrum displaced to the blue one.  

From there, it was deduced that the farther a body in the universe is, the more redshifted it is in its spectrum. This effect is due to the dilation and contraction of time by speed according to the relativity.  

Now, the Sun is a massive star and the Earth is at certaind distance from it, therefore <u>time passes slower in the Sun than on Earth</u>. This causes the spectrum of the Sun to present lines with a lower frequency or longer wavelength than normal, that is, more towards red.

Why do deserts form around areas near the tropics but not the equator
anygoal [31]
You see, we are more likely to find tropical rainforest and jungles on a hot and sunny location like on the equator. In fact, desert doesnt always have to be hot at all, for instance, the antarctica. Deserts are formed on locations with different climates and less precipitation. And unlike the locations on the equator, which receives high amount of rainfalls, deserts receive way too little, thus, affecting the vegetation and growth in the area.
