Analogy

Red shift is like tracking a system with arrows and numbers: decide what changes, what stays conserved, and what equation describes it.

Why now: An analogy helps when the definition feels abstract.

Do this: Match each part of the analogy to the science idea.

Learn it

Light from distant galaxies is shifted to longer wavelengths.

Greater red shift suggests a galaxy is moving away faster.

Red shift supports the idea that the universe is expanding.
