5 which measurement of astronomical distances monitors light moving through the spectrum of colors? standard candle redshift electromagnetic transmission stellar parallax skip 4/10 complete
Redshift is a phenomenon where light's wavelength is stretched, moving towards the red - end of the spectrum. It is used to measure astronomical distances as it is related to the expansion of the universe and the motion of celestial objects away from us. Standard candle is a different method for measuring distance based on known luminosity. Electromagnetic transmission is a general concept not specific to this distance - measuring method. Stellar parallax measures distance based on the apparent shift of stars' positions.
