Question

13 the main evidence to support an expanding universe originates from the idea that
a all the distant galaxies are moving away from earth.
b all the distant galaxies are moving toward earth.
c wavelengths do not change.
d distant galaxies must have originated far apart from each other.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The evidence for an expanding universe comes from the observation that distant galaxies are moving away from Earth (Hubble's law). This is shown by the redshift of their light. Option B is incorrect as galaxies are moving away, not towards. Option C is wrong as wavelengths do change (redshift). Option D is not the main evidence. The key is the motion of galaxies away from Earth.

Answer:

A. all the distant galaxies are moving away from Earth.
