The Earth's atmosphere is about 120 miles thick and anything we see from the surface of the Earth is distorted by the water vapor and debris that is in the air. If you are in space you do not have this distortion. The Hubble Telescope is a good example of space based telescopes.Scientists have put telescopes in space to avoid interference by the atmosphere.SOURCE:-Page 560 of Holt Science & Technology Earth Science-Chapter 18-Studying Space-Section 2- Telescopes-Optical Telescopes in Space
Scientists often place telescopes in remote locations, such as high mountains, to minimize atmospheric interference and light pollution. Additionally, some telescopes are positioned in space, like the Hubble Space Telescope, to completely avoid Earth's atmosphere and provide clearer images of celestial objects. These locations allow for more precise observations of the universe.

All major astronomical telescopes are equipped with spectrographs, including the Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescopes.
Telescopes on Earth have to look through the atmosphere (air) which distorts the image. Telescopes in space dont have to look through the atmosphere and so the image is a lot clearer.

they did it to get more detailed pictures of space

No - radio telescopes are (to put it simply) giant aerials. They gather radio signals from outer space, bringing them to a focal point. The signals are sent to computers for analysis.
If the full stop is at the end of the initials then there should be a space before the next word.
In orbit, the telescopes are not hindered by atmospheric turbulence, nor by clouds. But it is especially the turbulence that hinders telescopes on Earth; in outer space, you can get much clearer pictures. Another reason is that not all radiation reaches Earth's surface in significant amounts; for example, most ultraviolet or infrared radiation is absorbed by the atmosphere. Telescopes that detect those must needs be in outer space.
Yes it does, and the effect is never helpful. That's why the scientific community goes to such effort and expense to put serious telescopes in space.
