List at least three ways in which Earth's atmosphere can hinder astronomical observations And explain why putting a telescope into space helps in each case What problem can adaptive optics help with?
The Earth's atmosphere carries with it pollutants and water vapor that tend to attenuate incoming light from space and reflect light back to Earth emanating from ground sources. The atmosphere can act as an unrefined lens that can distort images due to its inhomogeneous density. Interference between light and various gasses in the atmosphere may act to distort the wavelength of incoming starlight. To put a telescope into space allows one to eliminate these difficulties by removing the atmosphere from the observations. I do not know of adaptive optics specifically but I would take it that adaptive optics would allow for refinement and correction for atmospheric interferences when observations are made on Earth by mathematical methods.
How do i know the earth is turning?
Well, the stars and constellations are always moving, and since we know that space doesn't revolve, then it must be the earth that is always moving and revolving and turning

Is there such place as higher than space?
If you believe in heaven then it can be anywhere you want. If you believe in science, then it does not exist. Observations from space have shown no "heaven" or anything like it exist, so it's more than likely that it does not exist apart from in religious books and peoples minds.
What is the opposite of space shuttle?
A UFO? Because we don't know what it is and it is coming from space, to earth, and returning to space.
How do you know the earth rotates?
because spacecrafts can see that the earth spins from outer space :)

How did the space shuttle help life on earth?
It makes us know if there is a meteor coming or to where the earth is.
Why do scientists believe earth is the only planet with life as you know it?
Earth is the only planet known to have life on it, however with the vastness of space the likelihood of life not existing anywhere else is astronomically low. We just havent found it yet.
Does Earth symbolizes strength?
Some people believe that; I Know I do
In Pokemon sapphire can you go to space?
Not that i know of i believe it is only in gold and silver
When will the moon depart from the earth?
(look at the very last sentence if you just want to know when). I believe that the Moon won't completely depart from the Earth (at least not before we all die), but scientists say that the Moon is, and has been departing from the Earth for along time (about 1.5 cm every year). Anyways some scientists believe that it will completely depart from the Earth and fling into outer space in several thousands of years.
Do you believe in extraterrestrials?
yes,i do believe in extraterrestrial life forms ,because thinking us the only intelligent life forms in the whole universe is foolish because how much do we know about outer space to tell firmly that only earth has the exact environment for life....
The primary method of energy transfer by which Earth loses energy to outer space is?
Earth loses energy to outer space through radiation.
