In what ways would a telescope mounted on the moon be better views into space than a telescope mounted on earth?

a moon based telescope would be better because on the moon there is no wind nor weather so it would be perfect to capture images without worrying about any obstacles.
on earth we worry about clouds winds and altitude etc etc.
to sum it all up then....... the reason moon-based telescopes are easier to see through is because the moon doesn't have as much obstructions like weather, clouds, pollution, weather, pretty much nuthin.

Why do optical telescope work better in space?
In space, there is no interference by Earth's atmosphere.
What are the disadvantages of a telescope in space have over a telescope on Earth?
In space, has the chance of being hit by debree, but you can get better images, and better info. Also if something goes wrong it will take awhile to fix it. On Earth, Can be fixed fast, but cannot get as better info from in space telescopes.
Why does a space telescope produce a clearer image then an earth based telescope?
There is less dust in space than earth.
How far above earth does the hubble space telescope orbit?
The Hubble Space Telescope is 600km above the Earth's surface.
What problem does an earth - based telescope have that a space - based telescope does not have?
Atmospheric and environmental interference.

Why does the HST get better pictures than a telescope earth?
The Hubble Space Telescope doesn't get affected by the Earth's Atmosphere. It also has the advantage of being in space so the quality and variety of images are a lot greater then any optical telescopes on Earth.

What space telescope orbits the earth every 97 minutes?

Is Hubble telescope bigger than earth?
No. The Hubble Space Telescope was built on Earth and launched into space. It is about the size of a bus.
Definition of hubble telescope?
The space telescope that was carried into Earth orbit by a space shuttle in 1990.
Why do you have a telescope in space?
Putting the telescope in space means that it is above the earth's atmosphere, cloud layer and free of earth's light pollution.
How can you watch the earth from space?
if you are in a rocket and have a telescope or something, you could watch the earth from space!
Where is the Hubble Space Telescope?
In outer space; in orbit around Earth.
