question 3
Red - shift occurs when an object is moving away from an observer (the wavelength of light is stretched, making it shift towards the red end of the spectrum). Blue - shift occurs when an object is moving towards an observer (the wavelength of light is compressed, making it shift towards the blue end of the spectrum). It is about the motion (speed and direction) of the object relative to the observer, not just about the color appearance (as color can be affected by many other factors like the object's own properties) or distance (distance alone doesn't cause the shift, it's the motion).
