No. The Hubble Space Telescope was built on Earth and launched into space. It is about the size of a bus.

Is the Hubble telescope bigger than the earth?

No, the Hubble Space Telescope is not bigger than the Earth. The Earth has a much larger diameter (approximately 12,742 kilometers) compared to the Hubble Space Telescope, which is about 13.2 meters long and 4.2 meters wide.

yes


Is the Hubble telescope bigger than the moon?

The Hubble Space Telescope is not as big as the moon. It is as big as the space shuttle cargo bay.


Why do you think the hubble telescope is better than a telescope on Earth?

it can see further.


Why is the Hubble telescope better than those on earth?

Hubble does not have to contend with the atmosphere of the earth which bends and distorts images from earth-based telescopes. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Why_does_the_Hubble_Space_Telescope_give_clearer_images_than_those_from_earth


How many people built the hubble telescope?

More than 10,000 scientists built the Hubble Telescope. They were assigned to work on different parts of the Hubble Telescope.


Why can a hubble space see farther into space than a telescope?

The Hubble can see further into space because it orbits outside of earth's atmosphere.


Is the Hubble telescope the smallest than the sun or earth?

Yes, the Hubble Space Telescope is significantly smaller than both the Sun and the Earth. The Hubble telescope is about 13.3 meters (43.5 feet) long and has a diameter of 2.4 meters (7.9 feet) for its primary mirror. In contrast, the Earth has a diameter of about 12,742 kilometers (7,918 miles), and the Sun's diameter is approximately 1.4 million kilometers (864,000 miles), making both celestial bodies many orders of magnitude larger than Hubble.


Why did they build the hubble space telescope?

On our ability to view space is limited because of all the particles in our atmosphere that filter or refract light as it passes from space to us. The Hubble Space telescope was built to be an orbiting Telescope that was out of our atmosphere. It was used to probe the earliest reaches of the universe. The Hubble is roughly 370 miles from the Earth's surface. The newest space telescope created by NASA is the James Webb Space Telescope. That will be far more powerful than Hubble and will be in orbit around the sun 1 Million miles from Earth.


Why Hubble Telescope take pictures better than telescopes in observation?

Since the Hubble Telescope is in space, it avoids interference from the atmosphere.


What is the Difference between hubble space telescope and iternational space station?

There are a number of differences. First, they are in different orbits; the Hubble is higher than the ISS. The ISS is a lot bigger. Probably the most important difference is that the Hubble has a big telescope but no people, while the ISS has people but no big telescope.


What makes the hubble telescope different from all the land based telescope you are?

The Hubble telescope is in space so it doesn't have a problem with atmospheric distortion. Therefore The Hubble telescope get's a much clearer picture than any normal land telescope which gets a less clear a picture because of water vapour and diffraction of light.
