The biggest change is thermal - since HST moves through the day/nigh terminator in orbit, there is a thermal temperature change of about 500 degrees Fahrenheit every 90 minutes. HST's first set of solar arrays were actually warped by the changes, and were first replaced during the First Servicing Mission in 1993. The current solar arrays, installed during the last Servicing Mission just a couple of years ago, are extremely sturdy and energy efficient; much was learned from the failure and design of the first arrays.

Why is it important that the hubble telescope is outside the earths atmosphere?
Outside the atmosphere the telescope has no interference, precisely by the atmosphere. The telescope can get a clearer picture, and see certain wavelengengths that don't reach Earth.Outside the atmosphere the telescope has no interference, precisely by the atmosphere.

What instrument can view the heavenly bodies clearly and without the filtering effect of the earths atmosphere?
Telescope or binoculars

How does the sun affect earths atmosphere?
The Sun sends photons of light particles and they get deflected by Earth's atmosphere
What is the difference between a space probe and rover?
A rover simply roves and explores a planet and is designed to move across the surface of a planet or other astronomical body. and a probe is like a missile and gets shot out of the earths atmosphere very very fast and when is up in space takes photos and sends them back to earth, kind of like the Hubble Space Telescope (HST).
What is the hubble telescope doing?
it is Floating around in an Orbit outside of Earths atmosphere taking Photos!
Was the hubble space telescope built to observe objects without the interference of the earths atmosphere?
Yes, that is the whole idea of putting a telescope up into space.
Why is Mr. Hubble so famous for the Hubble telescope?
It is the first outer space telescope and the images are so much more accurate it overall helps astronomers to have a better idea f what it actually looks like as normal telescopes are distorted by the earths atmosphere
Why is the Hubble space telescope in space and not on Earth?
Because the earths atmosphere tends to block and stir up some of the light from stars and so by having a telescope not in the atmosphere no light is blocked and there are no air currents or density differences so you can see more than a telescope on the ground.
Why is hubble located on the outside of earths atmosphere?
because it has to be

Is hubble telescope geostatic?
The Hubble Space Telescope (or HST) is not in a geostationary orbit. The HST is located at an average altitude of 600 Km. Earths' geostationary orbit is at approximately 36 000 Km.
Does the hubble telescope interfer with the earths atmosphere?
No. Actually, if there is any interference, it's just the opposite.Just like any other artificial satellite, if the Hubble were to drop low enough to encounterany appreciable atmosphere, it would soon fall out of orbit, re-enter the atmosphere, andburn up because of atmospheric friction. For that reason, it has to be kept high enough toavoid virtually all of the atmosphere.
Why is the hubble space telescopes considered the eye in the sky?
The atmosphere of earth tends to distort images from space. Since Hubble operates outside earths atmosphere, the images it can produce are much more clear.
How does severe weather in Earths atmosphere affect Earths geosphere?
i do nt no
What does space telescope mean?
This usually refers to a telescope that is actually located outside of the earths atmosphere. as opposed to a telescope designed to view outer space (which is all telescopes to my knowledge).
HOW DOES SUN ENERGY AFFECT EARTHS ATMOSPHERE?
Heat!!
