To determine the motion of the star relative to the sun based on the spectrum readings, you would generally look for signs of redshift or blueshift in their spectra.
1. If the star's spectral lines are shifted toward the blue end of the spectrum compared to the sun's lines, this indicates that the star is **moving toward** the sun (blue shift).
2. If the star's spectral lines are shifted toward the red end of the spectrum compared to the sun's lines, this indicates that the star is **moving away** from the sun (red shift).
So, fill in the responses as follows:
- If the spectral lines of the star show a **blueshift**, fill in the response: "moving toward."
- If the spectral lines of the star show a **redshift**, fill in the response: "moving away."
Choose accordingly based on the actual spectrum readings as indicated in the question.
