If the Hubble can photograph nebula's and stars etc 6 million light years away why cant it zoom in and see What is going on on the surface of other planets?

The distant stars emit light of their own, and the nebula glow by the light of nearby stars or stars behind them. But distant planets are much smaller - and do not glow. Worse, like a candle next to a car headlight, the glare of the bright star washes out the reflection of the nearby planet - making it exceptionally difficult to see.

But we can already see mars, so why not in more detail? Sounds like a scripted answer.

What is the word for a photograph in detail?
A photograph is an image created by light falling on a light-sensitive surface
Can you describe the surface of the Jovian planets?
The Jovian planets are gas giants and have no surface.
What were astronomers able to photograph Mars' surface easily?
The reason astronomers were able to photograph the surface of Mars is due to probes, unmanned spacecrafts used for exploration in space.
How do the surface materials of the inner and outer planets differ?
The inner planets' surface materials differ from the outer planets because the inner planets have rocky surfaces and the outer planets have gas surfaces.
What type of surface do terrestrial planets have?
the surface is solid
What do jovian planets not have?
Jovian Planets do not have a solid surface to stand on.
Which planets are most like the earth's surface?
Of all the planets the surface of Mars is closest to being like Earth.
Which of the outer planets has a surface more similar to the inner planets than to the outer planets?
None of them do. All the outer planets are gas planets while all the inner planets are rocky. You might be thinking of Pluto. It has a solid surface, but it is no longer considered a planet.
What planets have the hottest surface?
earth
Why are the inner planets different to the outer planets?
The inner planets are all considered rocky planets in that under atmospheric layers, they have a rocky surface. The outer planets are made of gas and liquid, and are called gas giants. They have no solid surface. Also, all the outer planets have rings while the inner planets do not.
Why is the surface temperature of Venus higher than the other surface temperatures of the inner planets?
The surface temperature of Venus is higher than the surface temperatures of the other inner planets because of its thick atmosphere.
What is the surface comp of planets?
ans2, There are as many atmospheric and surface compositions as there are planets with atmosphere or surface.You'll have to be more specific if you want useful data.
