Hubble's Law & Redshift Calculator
Recession velocity and approximate distance of a galaxy from its redshift (low-z Hubble law).
How to use the Hubble's Law & Redshift Calculator
- Enter or select: Redshift z, Hubble constant Hβ.
- The results (Velocity (relativistic Doppler), Velocity (cz), Distance (v/Hβ), Distance) are calculated instantly as you type.
- Use βCopy linkβ to share the calculation with the same input values.
Formula
- v = Hβ Β· d
- v β cΒ·z (z βͺ 1)
About this tool
Valid for nearby galaxies (z < ~0.1); larger redshifts require a full cosmological model.
