The Hubble Space Telescope is not as big as the moon. It is as big as the space shuttle cargo bay.
no
yes
No. The Hubble Space Telescope was built on Earth and launched into space. It is about the size of a bus.
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.
More than 10,000 scientists built the Hubble Telescope. They were assigned to work on different parts of the Hubble Telescope.
More than 10,000 people made the Hubble Telescope. It took 20 years to make the Hubble Telescope.

Since the Hubble Telescope is in space, it avoids interference from the atmosphere.
The Hubble Space Telescope, along with most man-made satellites, is in a low earth orbit. It remains 559 km from the earth. This is much closer than the moon, which orbits at an average distance of 384,392 km. It would be very difficult to have a man made satellite orbit further away from the earth than the moon without the moon interfering in its orbit.
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.
"Kepler" is actually an observatory, rather than a telescope. It does, however, operate in space. "Hubble" is a telescope, in the true sense of the word and, again, it operates in space.
