How are reflecting and retracting telescopes different?
A reflecting telescope is different from a refracting telescope because a reflecting telescope uses a concave lens, a plane mirror, and a convex lens. While a refracting telescope uses two lens.
Is the difference between a refracting telescope and a reflecting telescope?
A reflecting telescope uses mirrors while refracting telescopes uses lens. The refracting telescope also had chromatic aberration and bad resolution while the reflecting telescope had none of these.
What is a refracting and a reflecting telescope?
A refracting telescope is a type of telescope that has a large thin lense at the front and a smaller thicker lense at the end where the eyepiece is. Refracting telescopes use lenses unlike reflecting telescopes that use mirrors to reflect the light. This is a good image of a refracting and reflecting telescope: [See related link]
Did Galileo invent the reflecting or the refracting telescope?
no

What other things were developed using the refracting telescope design?
the reflecting telescope was!!
Which type of telescope uses concave mirrors to increase the size of the image being viewed?
Refracting
Why are reflecting telescope and refracting telescope considered as optical telescope?
"Optical", in this case, simply means that they work with light.
What are some of the advantages of reflecting telescopes over refracting telescopes?
Size... a reflecting telescope with the same power as a refracting telescope is much shorter. This is because, in the reflecting telescope, the incoming light is bounced off mirrors (often more than once) which means the physical length is much shorter than an equivalent refracting model.
Are lens part of a telescope?
-- A refracting telescope must have a lens, otherwise it's not a refracting telescope. -- A reflecting telescope can be constructed without any lens, but if you intend to look through it, then you'll use a little lens for the eyepiece.
What is another type of telescope other than reflecting and refracting telescopes?
Radio
How is a radio telescope different from a refracting telescope?
A radio telescope detects light in the form of radio waves and a refracting telescope detects light in the visible wavelengths
