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

The Hubble telescope is different from land based telescopes in that being in space it does not suffer atmospheric distortion, thus clearer pictures.


What does land based telescope mean?

A land-based telescope is a telescope that is located on Earth's surface, as opposed to being placed in space or on an airborne platform. These telescopes are typically situated at observatories and are used to study celestial objects and phenomena from the ground.


Which country uses telescope and why?

All countries which wish to study space on a budget use land-based telescopes.


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.


What is the difference between formal telescope and space telescope?

I think that a land-based telescope has the atmosphere as an obstacle for good observations, while the space telescope hasn't, so the images taken are more defined. Moreover, the earth orbit of the space telescope allows it to get a wide range of angles. Text by Jim West70

It's much more powerful


What makes the hubble telescope different from all the land based telescopes we have?

Here is a list:- It takes pictures actually from space rather than from Earth.- It can take pictures from all different angles from space.


Can you see antarctica from Argentina with a telescope?

This distance is more than 600 miles -- too far for a land-based telescope to be useful.


What makes it different from all land based telescopes we have?

I assume you're talking about the Hubble space telescope ?... The main difference - is that it doesn't suffer from distortion that the atmosphere causes in land-based instruments. Also - it isn't affected by 'light pollution' caused by the streeet lights of towns and cities.


Explain why a land based telescope is not always an effective observation tool?

Cause you're gay.(:


What makes the hubble telescope different from land based telescopes?

Being up above the atmosphere, it isn't troubled by the motions of the air, which cause distortions in land-based telescopes. That's partly why, before it was possible to put things into space, astronomers built their observatories on mountainsides, where the air was thinner.
