| Description: Gravitational Redshift The color of light from the same object located at different distances from a mass appears different as seen from far away. The photons that leave the vicinity of the massive object lose energy and are therefore redshifted. The closer the light source is to the mass, the redder the light appears; hence the name gravitational redshift. The same argument applies to light leaving the surfaces of different stars.
