Yes. The atmosphere interferes for observations.

Why must some telescopes be launched into space?

They must be launched in to space because there is a better veiw in space than from earth.


Telescopes that work grounded on the earth include all of the following except?

Telescopes that work grounded on Earth include optical telescopes, radio telescopes, and infrared telescopes. However, space telescopes, such as the Hubble Space Telescope, do not operate from the Earth's surface. Instead, they are placed in orbit to avoid the Earth's atmosphere, which can distort observations.


Which is the sugnificant advantage of space telescopes comapred with telescopes licated on Earth?

Light enters space telescope without distortion from Earth's atmosphere


How are space telescopes controlled?

Radio signals are sent from Earth, to operate the telescopes.


How are telescopes used in astronomy?

Telescopes are used to see things that are far away from earth. Using telescopes we can see things that are millions of miles away. Most of the telescopes are on Earth but some of them are in space such as the Hubble Space Telescope.


What are used to veiw space from earth?

Telescopes.


What are the disadvantages of a telescope in space have over a telescope on Earth?

In space, has the chance of being hit by debree, but you can get better images, and better info. Also if something goes wrong it will take awhile to fix it. On Earth, Can be fixed fast, but cannot get as better info from in space telescopes.


What are the two ways scientists explore space?

light telescopes and radio telescopes whether installed on earth or on space vehicles


What is an Earth telescope?

An Earth-bound telescope is merely a telescope located on Earth. This term is used to distinguish all of our normal telescopes on Earth from space telescopes or orbiting telescopes. The Hubble space telescope is the most famous space telescope, but there are many dozens of telescopes orbiting Earth which look at Earth or the Sun or other objects in space. Obviously, it is easier to construct an Earth-bound telescope and they can be bigger since getting a telescope into space requires a rocket and a lot more engineering and money. Space telescopes have the advantage of being outside the atmosphere and thus no atmosphere to diminish the quality of the image. For infrared telescopes there is the advantage of being in the cold environment of space where the interference from radiations of hot objects on Earth is absent. On the other hand, space telescopes are hard to repair and you can't really be there to look through them.


Why are optical telescopes not used on earth or in space?

Actually they are.


Can spectroscopes be put in space or on Earth or both?

All major astronomical telescopes are equipped with spectrographs, including the Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescopes.


What are 2 reasons for sending telescopes into space?

Telescopes in space are able to view objects clearly without having to look through a thick layer of the Earth's atmosphere. This enables them to capture better pictures and observe dimmer and more distant objects.
