How big is the mirror on the Hubble Teloscope?
The main mirror is 2.4 metres in diameter.
What kind of tele scope is hubble?
The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is a reflecting telescope. Specifically, it is a large, space-based observatory that uses mirrors to gather and focus light from distant objects in space. Reflecting telescopes like Hubble use curved mirrors to capture and reflect light to form images, unlike refracting telescopes that use lenses. Hubble's primary mirror is 2.4 meters (7.9 feet) in diameter and is used to collect light from celestial objects, allowing astronomers to study the universe in visible, ultraviolet, and near-infrared wavelengths.
What is the Lens aperture of the hubble telescope?
The Hubble Space Telescope is a reflector, so its objective is not a big-moose lens at the front;it's a big mirror in the back.The diameter of the objective mirror is 2.4 meters(7.87 feet), (94.5 inches).
What are the dimensions of the Hubble space Telescope?
The Hubble telescope is housed in an artificial satellite that is 13.2 m (43 ft) long, the primary mirror has a diameter of 2.4 m (7.9 ft) and has a collecting area of 4.5 m2 (48 sq ft).

How big is the mirror on the Hubble Teloscope?
The main mirror is 2.4 metres in diameter.
What is the length of the hubble space telescopes mirrors?
The Hubble's main mirror is almost 8 ft (7ft 10in) wide and has an area of 48 square ft.
How is resolution affected by the size of a telescopes mirror or lens?
The resolution is directly proportional to the diameter of the main mirror or lens. For instance, twice the diameter means twice the resolution.
What is the size of a telescope is expressed in terms of?
The diameter of the biggest lens or mirror that gathers light arriving from space. The diameter can be in mm, inches or metres.

What are Hubble's vehicle dimensions?
The mirror of HST has a diameter of 2.4 m. The entire vehicle measures 13.3 by 4.3 m, the mass (on Earth) is 10,863 kilograms.
Reflecting telescopes differ from refracting telescopes in having?
A mirror instead of and objective lens (:

What problems have there been with the hubble telescope?
the mirror was not right
What type of telescope is the hubble telescope?
The Hubble telescope was a basic reflector telescope with a 94.5 ft mirror. The Hubble collects light though its open end, the primary mirror reflects the light to a secondary mirror that then reflects the light through a hole in the primary mirror to a focal point of the instruments or eyes of the Hubble.
Can you use a mirror for a telescopes?
No you cannot. a mirror simply reflects light. you would have to have many mirrors no no
The F-ratio is a ratio of what?
Applied to focusing lenses and mirrors, including telescopes, binoculars, and cameras, the focal ratio or 'F-number' is (the focal length of the lens or mirror) divided by (its aperture or diameter)
