Detailed explanation-1: -The fabric of space expands. This is the cause primarily responsible for the redshifting we see of distant galaxies. Light travels through the fabric of space, which is expanding as time progresses since the Big Bang, and that expanding space stretches the wavelength of the light that travels through it.
Detailed explanation-2: -redshift, displacement of the spectrum of an astronomical object toward longer (red) wavelengths. It is attributed to the Doppler effect, a change in wavelength that results when a given source of waves (e.g., light or radio waves) and an observer are in motion with respect to each other.
Detailed explanation-3: -Examples of strong redshifting are a gamma ray perceived as an X-ray, or initially visible light perceived as radio waves. Subtler redshifts are seen in the spectroscopic observations of astronomical objects, and are used in terrestrial technologies such as Doppler radar and radar guns.
