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
