Astronomers improved radio images by connecting telescopes. If two radio telescopes are separated by distance but are connected electronically, their signals can be combined using a computer. The resulting images are as good as if one telescope were used that was as big as the distance between the two. This method is called interferometry.

What is it called when scientists use more than one telescope to look at the same object?
Interferometry. First used in radio telescopes optical instruments were a "relatively" recent addition to the process. It is the interference of signals that is used to create resolution. The further the instruments are apart the better it works.
How do you find the acceleration due to gravity on Pluto?
You can look it up. If you mean, how do scientists figure it out, they will have to calculate, or estimate, Pluto's mass, and its diameter. Once these are known, the acceleration by gravity can be calculated very accurately. The real challenge lies in finding out those two things.The diameter can be observed in high-resolution telescopes. With interferometry, a very accurate image can be obtained.The mass can be calculated by its gravitational effect on other objects, includings its three moons. Perhaps New Horizons will be able to measure the mass more accurately, once it arrives.
Why is Jupiter the biggest planet of solar system?
Condensations of Ices meant that there was more solid material. · Planetesimals that accreted in the outer solar system contained large amounts of ice in addition to metal and rock. The solid objects that reside in the outer solar system today, such as comets and the moons of the Jovian planets, still show this ice-rich composition. · With the large masses of icy planetesimals, their gravity became strong enough to capture and hold some of the hydrogen and helium gas that made up the vast majority of the surrounding solar nebula. As the growing planets accumulated gas, their gravity grew stronger still, allowing them to capture even more gas. Ultimately, the Jovian planets grew so much that they bore little resemblance to the icy seeds from which they started, instead ending up with large abundances of hydrogen and helium gas. Astronomers believe that Jupiter is so large because its position in the solar system was perfect for capturing the most dust and gas. Reasons that other planets aren't so large are planets that formed close to the sun couldn't capture as much gas and dust because it was moving too swiftly, and planets furthest form the sun couldn't capture as much gas and dust because there simply wasn't that much. Saturn also formed in a place in the solar system where it could capture a lot of dust and gas. However, its diameter is 22,448 kilometers smaller than Jupiter's.

What is interferomety?
Do you mean interferometry? interferometry is the technique of solving the properties of two or more waves by studying their pattern of interference created by their superposition.
What is interferometry and how does it affect images that are produced?
Interferometry is The act of linking several telescopes together so they act as one telescope. It improves as the distances in the telescopes increase.
