What are the advantages and disadvantages of ground based telescope?

Answer 1

a normal telescope can be projected further then a space telescope because it is bigger and more of it a space telescope in in space which lets it see further into space and is more exspensive to make ect

Answer 2

A telescope lets you see far away objects.

A satellite is something that orbits something else.

A satellite telescope is a big telescope is space that orbits a planet, usually to take photo's of the universe

Answer 3

There are significant advantages in both ground-based telescopes and space telescopes.

Some of the advantages of terrestrial telescopes are:

1. When you need to make repairs or modifications, you can drive there in a truck tomorrow, instead of hoping for a space shuttle mission to be scheduled in three years. Especially now that the Shuttles are being decommissioned, with no replacements planned.
2. You can run as many power cables as you like to the telescope; you don't have to depend on solar power.
3. You aren't limited in the size or weight of the telescope to the dimensions and capacity of a Shuttle.

Answer 4

The advantage of the space based telescopes is that treir view is not disturbed by the clouds or air currents in the atmosphere. But one of its drawbacks are that damages in it can't be repaired due to fact that they are in space.

Answer 5

because earth based telescopes have to gather light that has traveled through the atmosphere which can distort and blur the light. space based telescopes do not have to see through the atmosphere, so the the light they gather is less distorted allowing astronomers to see farther into space and get better pictures.

Answer 6

Radio telescopes are unable to view objects across the visable light section of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Answer 7

A radio telescope makes it possible to see (detect) frequencies which are not available for normal telescopes, thus providing additional information about the Universe.

Answer 8

Space telescopes can see much further, because telescopes on Earth are limited by disturbances in the atmosphere.

Answer 9

Advantages:

Infrared waves penetrate dust clouds in space, allowing us to see areas that emit no light.

Answer 10

I believe the advantages of Radio Astronomy is that you can observe night and day and radio waves can penetrate through clouds.
