How radio telescopes differ from optical telescopes.?
Radio telescopes collect radio waves. Optical telescopes capture visible light waves.
What kinds of telescopes are used to see stars in visible light?
Optical telescopes.
How do radio telescope different from optical telescope?
Radio telescopes collect radio waves. Optical telescopes capture visible light waves.
How do radio telescope operate?
As far as I know, there is no "optical radio telescope". There are, separately, optical telescopes (which work with visible light), and radio telescopes (which work with radio waves).
What type of telescopes use the visible spectrum to see the universe?
An optical telescope.
Can even the most powerful telescopes see through Venus' clouds?
Optical telescopes can't penetrate the clouds of Venus, but data have been collected from the surface and from the atmosphere below the clouds with radar, radio telescopes, and landing spacecraft.

In what ways are radio telescopes better than optical telescopes?
Both types of telescope collect and focus electromagnetic radiation for observational purposes, the difference is their band of observed frequencies. Radio telescopes are used for the radio frequencies ( ~3km - ~30cm) while optical telescopes are used for frequencies closer to visible light ( ~0.7μm - ~0.4μm). Optical telescopes may also be able to detect infrared and ultraviolet light.
Why are reflecting and fefracting telescopes classified as optical telescopes?
"Optical" simply means that they work with visible light - as opposed to other EM radiation (radio waves, x-rays, etc.); gravitational waves; etc.
How do scientist study invisible radiation from objects in space?
They study visible light by using optical telescopes.
Optical telescopes are designed to collect and create images from is it white or visible light or x rays or infrared radiation or gamma rays?
An "optical" telescope would naturally collect light from optical wavelengths, meaning visible light from ~400-800nm.
What is the main source of the visible light by which optical telescopes observe the planet Saturn?
sunlight reflecting off Saturn's atmosphere
