What evidence supports the Big Bang theory of universe origin?
Question

What evidence supports the Big Bang theory of universe origin?

A.

Sunspot cycles

B.

Redshift of galaxies

C.

Solar wind

D.

Volcanic eruption on Earth

Correct option is B

The correct answer is: (b) Redshift of galaxies
Explanation:
· The observation that light from distant galaxies is redshifted shows that galaxies are moving away from us, indicating the universe is expanding.
· This expansion supports the Big Bang theory as the origin of the universe.
Information Booster:
· Proposed by Georges Lemaître in 1927, later supported by Edwin Hubble’s observations.
· Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR) discovered in 1965 gave further proof.
· The universe began around 13.8 billion years ago.
· Redshift is explained by the Doppler effect in astronomy.
· Hubble’s law states: greater the distance of a galaxy, faster it recedes.
Additional Knowledge:
· Sunspot cycles: Related to solar activity, not universe origin.
· Solar wind: Stream of charged particles from the Sun, unrelated to Big Bang.
· Volcanic eruption on Earth: A geological event, not cosmic evidence.
