determine the order of the galaxies based on their distance from you closest to farthest. explain your reasoning. (8 pts - 4 for order; 4 for explanation)

Answer

# Explanation: ## Step1: Understand redshift concept Red - shift occurs when a galaxy moves away from us. The greater the red - shift, the farther the galaxy is. Spectral lines shift towards the red end for more distant galaxies. ## Step2: Analyze spectral lines By comparing the spectral lines of the galaxies to our galaxy's spectral lines, we can see the amount of red - shift. Galaxy C has the most red - shifted spectral lines, followed by Galaxy B, and then Galaxy A. # Answer: Galaxy A, Galaxy B, Galaxy C
