Which telescopes are placed on mountains?
an opital telescope
Why are radio telescopes often placed in valleys?
Placing the telescopes in valleys is believed by some people to slightly reduce radio interference, but when radio telescopes are placed in valleys, it is usually because they are so large and the mountains work as supports, to reduce the cost.
Why are some telescopes placed in orbit around the earth?
because looking through the Earth's atmosphere can distort the incoming light.
What is absorbed by water in Earth's atmosphere and requires that telescopes forobserving at these wavelengths be placed on mountain tops or in space?
Some frequencies of light are attenuated by water vapor.
Why do some telescopes that collect electromagnetic radiation in the shorter wavelengths need to be placed either in dry areas or outside the atmosphere?

Is there a place in the universe that is so distant from stars or other celestial bodies that if one were to be placed there one would see nothing but blackness?
If there is then we, being right beside a star, cannot know of it. We appear to be surrounded by stars and galaxies.
Why are x-ray telescopes and gamma - ray telescopes in space?
The earth's atmosphere doesn't let these rays reach the ground, so the telescopes are placed in orbit where they can receive the rays.
Where do x ray telescopes have to be placed in order to view object in space?
Satellites

Why do optical astronomers place telescopes at the top of mountains while radio astronomers put their telescopes in valleys?
Optical telescopes are placed high to avoid having to look through the thickest part of the atmosphere. Radio telescopes are place in valleys to avoid the effects of man-made electrical noise in the telescope.
Why are big telescopes found on top of mountains?
The Earth's atmosphere provides interference to optical telescopes because the molecules in the air scatter and disrupt light. Many telescopes are placed at high elevation because the atmosphere is thinner and will cause less interference.
Why would an X-ray telescope based on Earth not be able to detect X-Rays emitted distant stars?
blocked by the Earths atmosphere but can be detected by telescopes placed in orbit round the Earth

What is Screed primarily used for?
Screed is primarily used to smooth concrete after it has been placed on a surface, it is a flat board. It is an essential factor in placing down flooring.
